《The Little Beggarman》歌词

[00:00:00] The Little Beggarman - Tommy Makem

[00:00:03] I am a little beggarman

[00:00:04] And begging I have been

[00:00:06] For three score or more

[00:00:07] In this little isle of green

[00:00:08] I'm known from the liffey

[00:00:09] Down to segue

[00:00:11] And I'm known by the name of

[00:00:12] Old Johnny Dhu

[00:00:13] Of all the trade's that's going sure

[00:00:15] Begging is the best

[00:00:16] For when a man is

[00:00:17] Tired he can sit down and rest

[00:00:19] He can beg for his dinner

[00:00:20] He has nothing else to do

[00:00:21] Only cut around the corner

[00:00:22] With his old rig a doo

[00:00:27] I slept in the barn

[00:00:28] Down at caurabawn

[00:00:29] A wet night came on

[00:00:31] And I slept 'till the dawn

[00:00:32] With holes in the roof

[00:00:33] And the rain coming through

[00:00:35] And the rats and the cats

[00:00:36] They were playing peek a boo

[00:00:37] Who should I waken

[00:00:38] But the woman of the house

[00:00:40] With her white spotty apron

[00:00:41] And her calico blouse

[00:00:42] She began to frighten

[00:00:43] And I said boo

[00:00:45] Aarah don't be afraid

[00:00:46] Mam it's only Johnny Dhu

[00:00:50] I met a little flaxy haired

[00:00:52] Girl one day

[00:00:53] Good morning little flaxy haired

[00:00:54] Girl I did say

[00:00:55] Good morning little beggarman

[00:00:56] A how do you do

[00:00:58] With your rags and you tags

[00:00:59] And you old rig a doo

[00:01:01] I'll buy a pair of leggings

[00:01:02] A collar and a tie

[00:01:03] And a nice young lady

[00:01:04] I'll fetch by and by

[00:01:06] I'll buy a pair of goggles

[00:01:07] And I'll color them blue

[00:01:08] And an old fashioned lady

[00:01:09] I will make her too

[00:01:13] Over the road

[00:01:14] With my pack on my back

[00:01:16] Over the fields

[00:01:17] With my great heavy sack

[00:01:19] With holes in my shoes

[00:01:20] And my toes peeping through

[00:01:21] Singing skinny me rink a doodle o

[00:01:23] And old Johnny Dhu

[00:01:24] I must be going to bed

[00:01:25] For it's getting late at night

[00:01:26] The fire's all raked

[00:01:27] And out goes the light

[00:01:29] So now you've heard the story

[00:01:30] Of my old rig a doo

[00:01:32] It's good bye and god be with us

[00:01:34] Said old Johnny Dhu
