The Little Beggarman - Tommy Makem[00:00:00]
I am a little beggarman[00:00:03]
And begging I have been[00:00:04]
For three score or more[00:00:06]
In this little isle of green[00:00:07]
I'm known from the liffey[00:00:08]
Down to segue[00:00:09]
And I'm known by the name of[00:00:11]
Old Johnny Dhu[00:00:12]
Of all the trade's that's going sure[00:00:13]
Begging is the best[00:00:15]
For when a man is[00:00:16]
Tired he can sit down and rest[00:00:17]
He can beg for his dinner[00:00:19]
He has nothing else to do[00:00:20]
Only cut around the corner[00:00:21]
With his old rig a doo[00:00:22]
I slept in the barn[00:00:27]
Down at caurabawn[00:00:28]
A wet night came on[00:00:29]
And I slept 'till the dawn[00:00:31]
With holes in the roof[00:00:32]
And the rain coming through[00:00:33]
And the rats and the cats[00:00:35]
They were playing peek a boo[00:00:36]
Who should I waken[00:00:37]
But the woman of the house[00:00:38]
With her white spotty apron[00:00:40]
And her calico blouse[00:00:41]
She began to frighten[00:00:42]
And I said boo[00:00:43]
Aarah don't be afraid[00:00:45]
Mam it's only Johnny Dhu[00:00:46]
I met a little flaxy haired[00:00:50]
Girl one day[00:00:52]
Good morning little flaxy haired[00:00:53]
Girl I did say[00:00:54]
Good morning little beggarman[00:00:55]
A how do you do[00:00:56]
With your rags and you tags[00:00:58]
And you old rig a doo[00:00:59]
I'll buy a pair of leggings[00:01:01]
A collar and a tie[00:01:02]
And a nice young lady[00:01:03]
I'll fetch by and by[00:01:04]
I'll buy a pair of goggles[00:01:06]
And I'll color them blue[00:01:07]
And an old fashioned lady[00:01:08]
I will make her too[00:01:09]
Over the road[00:01:13]
With my pack on my back[00:01:14]
Over the fields[00:01:16]
With my great heavy sack[00:01:17]
With holes in my shoes[00:01:19]
And my toes peeping through[00:01:20]
Singing skinny me rink a doodle o[00:01:21]
And old Johnny Dhu[00:01:23]
I must be going to bed[00:01:24]
For it's getting late at night[00:01:25]
The fire's all raked[00:01:26]
And out goes the light[00:01:27]
So now you've heard the story[00:01:29]
Of my old rig a doo[00:01:30]
It's good bye and god be with us[00:01:32]
Said old Johnny Dhu[00:01:34]
