Is this the one? If not, do you have any lyrics at all?

NINETY YEARS OLD
(Frankie Taylor and Jack Wright)

CHORUS: Well, I'm ninety years old and I'm courtin' today.
I'm ninety years and I'm on my way.
I can't play the fiddle like I used to could,
But I can roll in the hay like anyone should.

Well, Ma's in the grave and the kids are grown.
Sometimes I feel one half alone,
But the other half's here and it's rarin' to go.
I know a pretty little widow with hair like snow. CHORUS

The boys up the holler all giggle at me.
I guess they'll laugh till eternity,
But I ain't just born and I ain't quite dead.
I got a clean white shirt and my blood's still red. CHORUS

You want to go with me, my friend?
We'll settle on down to some old time sin.
Won't be no flowers when I'm through.
Just send a dozen to Parthy and six to Sue. CHORUS

all i can remember about the song is a man meets a girl that looks 19 but after they marry she takes off her wig and unscrews a wooden leg. It ends with her being 90 not 19
