A Maid A Being Young
Well, a maid a being young, she thought it no harm.
Well, a maid a being young, she thought it no harm.
Well, a maid a being young, she thought it no harm,
So she jumped in the bed and rolled in my arms.
And it’s what I done there I cannot tell here.
And it’s what I done there I cannot tell here.
It’s what I done there I cannot tell here,
But I wish that night had a been a long year.
Well, the six months passed and the time rolled by.
Well, the six months passed and the time rolled by.
The six months passed and the time rolled by;
Her slippers wouldn’t button, her apron’s wouldn’t tie.
Well, if it’s a girl child, hire it a nurse.
Silver and gold, put money in it’s purse;
Take it on your lap and comb its little head,
And don’t forget the night when I got your maidenhead.
Well, if it’s a boy child, name it after me;
Stick a gun in its pocket, dress t in blue,
And tell it to see the girls likes it’s papa used to do.
MawMaw learned this bawdy number from her cousin, Bethunie Clark who was taught it one night at the schoolhouse by her teacher, among other things. Bethunie got pregnant, and, to avoid scandal, her parents moved with her to middle Tennessee.
