The Beggarman |
| Well, I’m a little beggarman, I am a beggarman |
| I’m a little beggar, beggarman, I am a beggarman |
| Well, I’m a little beggarman, I am a beggarman |
| I’m a little beggar, beggarman, I am a beggarman |
| Well, I’m a little beggarman, I am a beggarman |
| I’m a little beggar, beggarman, I am a beggarman |
| Well, I’m a little beggarman, I am a beggarman |
| I’m a little beggar, beggarman, I am a beggarman |
| Well, I’m a little beggarman and begging I have been |
| I’ve three score or more on this little isle of green |
| And I’m known from the Liffey from the basement to the zoo |
| And I’m known by the name of old Johnny Dhu |
| Of all the trades that’s goin' the beggin' is the best |
| For when a man is tired he can sit down and rest |
| He can beg for his dinner, he’s nothing else to do |
| When he comes around the corner with his old rig-a-doo |
| I met a little flaxy haired girl one day |
| 'Well good morning' little flaxy haired girl', I did say |
| 'Well good mornin', little beggarman and how do you do |
| With your rags and your bags and your old rig-a-doo" |
| I’ll buy a pair of leggings and a collar and a tie |
| And a nice young lady I will fetch by and by |
| I’ll buy a pair of goggles and I’ll color them blue |
| And an old fashioned lady I will make of her too |
| I’ve got the sky, I’ve got the road |
| I’ve got the sky, the world is my home |
| Well, I’m a little beggarman, I am a beggarman |
| I’m a little beggar, beggarman, I am a beggarman |
| Well, I’m a little beggarman, I am a beggarman |
| I’m a little beggar, beggarman, I am a beggarman |
| And I slept way down, in a barn at Caurabawn |
| A wet night came on and I slept till the dawn |
| With the holes in the roof and the rain coming through |
| And the rats and the cats, they were playing peek-a-boo |
| Who should awaken but the woman of the house |
| With her white spotty apron and her calico blouse |
| She began to frighten and I said, «Boo |
| Ah, don’t be afraid ma’am it’s only Johnny Dhu» |
| I’ve got the sky, I’ve got the moon |
| I’ve got the sky, the world is my home |
| And it’s over the fields with my pack on my back |
| And over the fields with my great heavy sack |
| With the holes in my shoes and my toes peeping through |
| Singing, «doodle o for old Johnny Dhu» |
| I must be going to bed for it’s getting late at night |
| When the fire’s all raked and out goes the light |
| Now you’ve heard the story of me old rig-a-doo |
| It’s goodnight and God be with you from old Johnny Dhu |
| I’ve got the sky, I’ve got the road |
| I’ve got the sky, the world is my home |
| I’ve got the sky, I’ve got the road |
| I’ve got the sky, the world is my home |
| I’ve got the sky, I’ve got the road |
