Get Away Old Man, Get Away Composer(s): Frank Crumit Performer(s): Vernon Dalhart
Now listen all you maidens about to choose a man Dont take one who is ancient, get a young one if you can cos if you marry an old man, now list to what I say Youre sure to meet a young man wholl steal your heart away For an old man he is old, for an old man he is grey But a young mans heart is full of love Get away, old man, get away
Be sure to get a young man with red and rosy cheeks Dont get a man with a cane in his hand whose back is very weak Id rather marry a young man with pockets lined with silk Than to marry an old man with a hundred cows to milk
For an old man he is old, for an old man he is grey But a young mans heart is full of love Get away, old man, get away
Id sooner marry a young man with an apple in his hand Than to marry an old man with a hundred acres o land Dont ever marry an old man and heres the reason why His lips are all tobacco juice, and his lips are never dry
For an old man he is old, for an old man he is grey But a young mans heart is full of love Get away, old man, get away
Dont ever marry an old man whos got the rheumatiz Youll have to rub his creaking joins, if that aint work, what is Dont ever marry an old man, cos when the weathers cold A nice warm place to put your feet is better far than gold
For an old man he is old, for an old man he is grey But a young mans heart is full of love Get away, old man, get away
Get away, get away, get away Get away, get away, get away Shoo fly, dont bother me Shoo fly, dont bother me Get away old man get away
