Oh, oh, many years ago Lived the wife of happy Rip Van Winkle Oh, oh, she sent him away As the little stars began to twinkle All that he had he had under his hat She was glad to see him go So over the hills he went Left her without a cent One thing I'm anxious to know.... Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle When Rip Van Winkle went away? And though he slept for twenty years Who was it kissed away her tears? She had no friends in the place No one to embrace But the landlord always left her with a smile on his face Oh, who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle When Rip Van Winkle went away? C'mon, tell me! Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle When Rip Van Winkle went away? And though he slept for twenty years Who was it kissed away her tears? She never married again She was lonesome but then You'll always find a rooster Lookin' round for a hen Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle When Rip Van Winkle went away?
