The Deaf Woman's Courtship

This is a two part song:
The man's part is in blue text,
and the woman's is in green.


Old woman, old woman,
Are you fond of cooking?
Speak a little louder, sir,
I'm very hard of hearing.

Old woman, old woman,
Are you fond of sewing?
Speak a little louder, sir,
I'm very hard of hearing.

Old woman, old woman,
Will you darn my stocking?
Speak a little louder, sir,
I'm very hard of hearing.

Old woman, old woman,
Will you let me court you?
Speak a little louder, sir,
I just begin to hear you.

Old woman, old woman,
Don't you want to marry me?
Oh, my goodness gracious me,
I think that now I hear you.
