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

I am a little beggar-man and begging I have been[00:00:03]

For three score or more in this little isle of green[00:00:05]

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

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

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

For when a man is tired he can sit down and rest[00:00:16]

He can beg for his dinner he has nothing else to do[00:00:19]

Only cut around the corner with his old rig a doo[00:00:21]

I slept in the barn down at caurabawn[00:00:27]

A wet night came on and I slept 'till the dawn[00:00:29]

With holes in the roof and the rain coming through[00:00:32]

And the rats and the cats they were playing peek a boo[00:00:34]

Who should I waken but the woman of the house[00:00:37]

With her white spotty apron and her calico blouse[00:00:39]

She began to frighten and I said boo[00:00:42]

Aarah don't be afraid mam it's only johnny dhu[00:00:45]

I met a little flaxy haired girl one day[00:00:50]

Good morning little flaxy haired girl I did say[00:00:53]

Good morning little beggar-man a how do you do[00:00:55]

With your rags and you tags and you old rig a doo[00:00:58]

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

And a nice young lady I'll fetch by and by[00:01:03]

I'll buy a pair of goggles and I'll color them blue[00:01:05]

And an old fashioned lady I will make her too[00:01:08]

Over the road with my pack on my back[00:01:13]

Over the fields with my great heavy sack[00:01:16]

With holes in my shoes and my toes peeping through[00:01:18]

Singing skinny me rink a doodle o and old johnny dhu[00:01:21]

I must be going to bed for it's getting late at night[00:01:23]

The fire's all raked and out goes the light[00:01:26]

So now you've heard the story of my old rig a doo[00:01:29]

It's good bye and god be with you says old johnny dhu[00:01:32]
