THE DEAF WOMAN'S COURTSHIP



Old woman, old woman, are you fond of smoking?_

Speak a little louder, sir, I'm rather hard of hearing.



Old woman, old woman, are you fond of carding?_

Speak a little louder, sir, I'm rather hard of hearing.



Old woman, old woman, don't you want me to court you?

Speak a little louder, sir, I've just begun to hear you.



Old woman, old woman, don't you want to marry me?

Lord have mercy on my soul, I think now I hear you.



From English Folk Songs in the Southern Appalachians, Sharp

Collected from Mrs. Emma Early, NC. 1918
