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
