    When I awoke in the morning
    I was covered with dew
    In my second hand trousers I bought in Belcoo
    IIII
    If ever I want an old woman again,
    To wash my old shirt or to keep my house clean,
    I'll wallop it out for a widow to Rooe,
    In my second hand trousers I bought in Belcoo.
