Eighteen Years Old-Cara Dillon

[00:01.40] [00:06.60]I'm eighteen years old today, mama [00:10.02]and I'm longing to be wed. [00:14.07]So buy for me a young man to comfort me, she said. [00:21.22]You must buy for me a young man [00:24.91]who will stay with me all night. [00:28.31]And I'll roll him in my arms [00:32.61]he'll be my heart's delight. [00:35.71] [00:35.96]Ah, hold your tongue, dear daughter then [00:39.61]or your folds I will pull down. [00:43.29]Your silks and satins I will pull down [00:46.85]you must wear your morning gown. [00:50.58]I'll send you to the meadows [00:54.40]for to rake and mow the hay. [00:57.85]With your pike and shaft all in your hand [01:01.75]you must earn your drink and take. [01:12.44] [01:12.69]Ah, hold your tongue, dear daughter then [01:16.44]I was forty before I wed. [01:20.38]Although it was late, I thought it no weight [01:23.88]to carry my maidenhead. [01:27.41]Well that may be the way with you, mama [01:31.07]but it isn't the way with me. [01:34.56]For I'm young and airy, light and crazy [01:38.68]and married I long to be. [02:11.22] [02:11.47]Ah, hold your tongue, dear daughter then [02:15.13]and I'll buy for you a man. [02:19.01]A man for me? Oh, mother, she said [02:22.53]you must hasten, you must you can. [02:26.09]The sooner the better, oh mother [02:28.97]she said, you must hasten a man to me. [02:33.18]For I'm young and airy, light and contrary [02:41.21]and married I long to be.
