Alan of Australia	Penguin: When I Was Young (1)	Penguin: When I Was Young	02 Jul 00
G'day, From the Penguin Book Of English Folk Songs, Ed Pellow's rendition of the tune of When I Was Young can be found here. WHEN I WAS YOUNG ^^^ When I was young I lived in a ha', But now I'm married and have nae hame at a'. Oh, what a life, what a weary, weary life, Ye'd better be a maiden as a poor man's wife, Ye'd better be a maiden a' the days of your life, Ye'd better be a maiden as a poor man's wife. When I was young I used to sport and play, But now I'm married and the cradle's in the way. Oh, what a life, etc. When I was young I wore my slippers thin, But now I'm married and the water it runs in. Oh, what a life, etc. Sung by Mrs Moore, High Heworth, Co. Durham (W.G.W. 1920) Previous song: When I Was A Little Boy. Next song: Ye Mar'ners All. Cheers, Alan
