Lyrics Beggar Man - hidden track - Great Big Sea
Well,
I
am
a
little
beggarman,
a
begging
I
have
been
For
three
score
or
more
in
the
little
isle
of
green
All
over
the
Liffey
and
down
to
Segue
I'm
known
by
the
name
of
auld
Johnny
Dhu
Of
all
the
trades
a
going,
begging
is
the
best
When
a
man
gets
tired
he
can
sit
down
and
rest
Singin'
for
his
supper
when
there's
nothing
else
to
do
When
I
come
around
the
corner
with
me
old
rigadoo
I
went
to
a
barn,
went
down
to
Currabawn
Got
down
on
the
floor
and
I
slept
till
the
dawn
Holes
in
the
roof
and
the
rain
seeping
thru
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
by
and
by
Buy
a
pair
of
leggings
and
I'll
color
them
blue
For
a
foxy
old
lady
I'll
make
her
too
I
met
a
little
flaxen
haired
girl
one
day
Good
morning
little
flaxen
haired
girl,
I
did
say
Good
morning
little
beggarman
how
do
you
do
With
your
bags
and
your
rags
and
your
auld
rigadoo
Who
should
I
waken
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
Over
the
road
with
me
pack
on
me
back
Over
all
the
fields
with
me
big
heavy
sack
Over
the
hills
with
the
moon
peeking
through
Singing,
skin
a
ma
rink
a
doodle
on
me
auld
rigadoo
I
must
be
going
to
bed,
it's
getting
late
at
night
The
fire
is
all
out,
so
out
goes
the
light
Now
you've
heard
the
story
of
the
auld
rigadoo
So
good
night
and
God
be
with
you,
this
is
auld
Johnny
