Hedger and Ditcher Lyrics
My father's a hedger and ditcher
my mother does nothing but spin
They say I'm a pretty young girl
but the money comes slowly in
Chorus:
Oh dear, what shall become of me
Oh dear, what shall I do
There's nobody coming to marry me
Nobody coming to woo
The doggie began to bark
and I looked out to see
I saw two young men out a-hunting
but nobody's hunting for me
Chorus:
Oh, must I die an old maid
Oh dear, how shocking the thought
There's nobody coming to marry me
Surely it's not me own fault
My father's a hedger and ditcher
my mother does nothing but spin
They say I'm a pretty young girl
but the money comes slowly in
Chorus
my mother does nothing but spin
They say I'm a pretty young girl
but the money comes slowly in
Chorus:
Oh dear, what shall become of me
Oh dear, what shall I do
There's nobody coming to marry me
Nobody coming to woo
and I looked out to see
I saw two young men out a-hunting
but nobody's hunting for me
Oh dear, how shocking the thought
There's nobody coming to marry me
Surely it's not me own fault
my mother does nothing but spin
They say I'm a pretty young girl
but the money comes slowly in
