It was in Liverpool, my local at the time
She was an elderly lady, well built, singing heartily at full pelt an old folk song, must have been a local one. I never heard it before and never heard it since, but then I'm not a folky one:

"My advice to young girls
Never wed and old man
coz he's got no delorum aye diddle aye dorum
He's got no delorum aye diddle aye day...
He's got no delorum
Aye folcum felorum
My advice to young girls
Never wed and old man"

Presumably she had, and I took heed of the warning and didn't.

I think I've heard a version of this by the Dubliners
And I've certainly heard it sung in folk music nights. I think it's pretty well known.

Sung loudly in Nottingham (UK) as well, it's one of my Dad's favourites..

One of the verses goes..
"swung me leg over him, bloody near smothered him, maids when you're young, never wed an old man!"
