I'm looking for the lyrics of an song called 'old maid' The song goes something like this in the chorus.... 'O dear me, what will I do if I die an old maid in the garden' Please help me, and thanks in anticipation.

It's the garret (attic), not the 'garden'.

OLD MAID IN THE GARRET is right here in the Digital Tradition Database.

WassaiL! V
