Hand Me Down Me Petticoat
Oh hand me down me petticoat
And hand me down me shawl
Oh hand me down me buttoned boots
For I'm off to the Linen Hall
A'ra he was a quare one
Fa de liddle yodle da
He was a quare one and I'll tell you
If you go down to the Curragh Camp
Called in at number nine
You'll see three squaddies standing there
Now the good-looking one is mine
A'ra he was a quare one
Fa de liddle yodle da
He was a quare one and I'll tell you
Oh, me love has joined the army
All under a false name
Oh, he's done me on me pension
And his ould wan is all to blame
A'ra he was a quare one
Fa de liddle yodle da
He was a quare one and I'll tell you
And if you go to the fighting lines
Go off to fight the Boers
Just keep that Dublin hand behind
Let he quare fella go me for
A'ra he was a quare one
Fa de liddle yodle da
He was a quare one and I'll tell you
Ah, me love has gone across the sea
Ah, me love is far away
Ah, me love has gone to Americay
And left me in the family way
A'ra he was a quare one
Fa de liddle yodle da
He was a quare one and I'll tell you
Hand me down me petticoat
Hand me down me shawl
Hand me down me buttoned boots
For I'm of to the Linen Hall
A'ra he was a quare one
Fa de liddle yodle da
He was a quare one and I'll tell you
How would you know one, game ball!
Hand Me Down Me Enagua
Oh, dame abajo mi enagua
Y dame mi chal
Oh, dame las botas abotonadas
Porque me voy a la sala de lino
A 'ra era un quare one
Fa de liddle yodle da
Era un quare y te lo diré
Si vas al campamento Curragh
Llamado al número nueve
Verás a tres escuadrones ahí parados
Ahora el guapo es mío
A 'ra era un quare one
Fa de liddle yodle da
Era un quare y te lo diré
Oh, mi amor se ha unido al ejército
Todo bajo un nombre falso
Oh, me ha hecho con mi pensión
Y su “wan “tiene la culpa
A 'ra era un quare one
Fa de liddle yodle da
Era un quare y te lo diré
Y si vas a las líneas de combate
Vete a luchar contra los Boers
Sólo mantén esa mano de Dublín detrás
Deja que me vaya
A 'ra era un quare one
Fa de liddle yodle da
Era un quare y te lo diré
Ah, mi amor ha cruzado el mar
Ah, mi amor está muy lejos
Ah, mi amor se ha ido a Americay
Y me dejó en el camino de la familia
A 'ra era un quare one
Fa de liddle yodle da
Era un quare y te lo diré
Dame la enagua
Dame mi chal
Dame las botas abotonadas
Porque estoy en el Salón de la Ropa
A 'ra era un quare one
Fa de liddle yodle da
Era un quare y te lo diré
¿Cómo sabrías uno, pelota de juego?
