Great Big Sea - Jolly Beggarman lyrics
Well, I am a little beggarman, a begging I have been With the wee score more in the little isle of green Over the Liffey and down to Scoo I'm known by the name of old Johnny Dhu. Of all the trades a-going, begging is the best When a man gets tired he can sit down and rest Sing for his supper when there's nothing else to do When he come around the corner with me old rigadoo. Nonsense refrain I went to a barn way down in Currabawn Got down on the floor, I slept until the dawn Holes in the roof and the rain seeping through Me toes froze together in me little beggar shoes Buy a pair of leggings and a collar and a tie A nice old lady you will find bye and bye Buy a pair of leggings and I color them blue For a foxy old lady, I'll make her do Refrain (Hey, hey, and away we go) I met a little foxy-haired girl one day "Good morrow little foxy-haired girl," I'd say "Good morrow little beggarman, how do you do With your bags and your rags and your auld rigadoo." Who should awaken but the woman of the house With her white spotted apron and her calico blouse She began to frighten, so I said boo Sure, don't be afraid, it's only Johnny Dhu. Refrain Over the road with me pack on my back Over the fields with my big heavy sack Over the hills with the moon peeping through Singing skin-a-rink-a-doodle on me auld rigadoo. I must be going to bed, it's getting late at night The fire's all out so out goes the light Now you've heard the story of the auld rigadoo Goodnight, God be with you, this is auld Johnny Dhu.
