I've tried a lyrics search and can't find this one.
Please help me find missing lyrics in this old song:

Oh, oh, many years ago
Lived the wife of happy Rip Van Winkle.
One day she drove poor Rip away
And the (merry?) stars began to twinkle.
All that he had he had under his hat
And 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

CHORUS:
Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle
When Rip Van Winkle went away?
And while he slept for twenty years
Who was it (dried away?) her tears?
She had no friend in the place
Had no one to embrace
Yet the landlord always found her with a smile on her face.
Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle
When Rip Van Winkle went away?

(Now the real missing parts!)
Oh, oh, many years ago
-------------crossed the Alps in winter
Oh, oh, (history? the bible?) says it's so
-------------stubbed his foot upon a splinter.

I need this second verse. I know the song is silly, but it's fun! It has to be more than fifty years old.
