Who Paid the Rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle?
Oh, oh, many years agoLived the wife of happy Rip Van WinkleOh, oh, she sent him awayAs the little stars began to twinkleAll that he had he had under his hatShe was glad to see him goSo over the hills he wentLeft her without a centOne thing I'm anxious to knowWho paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van WinkleWhen Rip Van Winkle went away?And though he slept for twenty yearsWho was it kissed away her tears?She had no friends in the placeNo one to embraceBut the landlord always left her with a smile on his faceOh, who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van WinkleWhen Rip Van Winkle went away?C'mon, tell me!Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van WinkleWhen Rip Van Winkle went away?And though he slept for twenty yearsSongtexteWho was it kissed away her tears?She never married againShe was lonesome but thenYou'll always find a roosterLookin' round for a henWho paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van WinkleWhen Rip Van Winkle went away?
