When I Was A Young Girl

• A5

This song is originally played on two cellos... but since the song is a great fun 
one and I only know how how to play the guitar I kinda adapted it.... 

VERSE
A5
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl
                        G5       A5
When I was a young girl then, oh then
A5
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl
                        G5       A5
When I was a young girl then, oh then

CHORUS
         A5
It was a ha ha this-a-way
G5
Ha ha that-a-way
A5               G5       A5
Ha ha this-a-way then, oh then

Its basically the same repetitive pattern for the remaining parts... 

The boys came a-courtin', courtin', courtin'
The boys came a-courtin' then, oh then
The boys came a-courtin', courtin', courtin'
The boys came a-courtin' then, oh then

It was a primp primp this-a-way
Primp primp that-a-way
Primp primp this-a-way then, oh then

It was a ha ha this-a-way
Ha ha that-a-way
Primp primp this-a-way then, oh then

Then we married, married, married
Then we married then, oh then
Then he died, died, died
Then he died then, oh then

It was a boo-hoo this-a-way
Boo-hoo that-a-way
Boo-hoo this-a-way then, oh then

Ha ha this-a-way
Ha ha that-a-way
Ha ha this-a-way then, oh then

When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl
When I was a young girl then, oh then
(Boo-hoo this-a-way
Boo-hoo that-a-way
Boo-hoo this-a-way then, oh then)

When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl
When I was a young girl then, oh then 
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl
When I was a young girl then, oh then
