Dubliners (The)
The Beggarman
The night been dark and very cold
A woman took pity on a poor old soul
She took pity on a poor old soul
And she asked him to come in
Chorus:
Wid me too roo roo roo rentum high
Me too roo roo roo rentum high
Too roo roo roo rentum high
And it's time for the beggar man
He sat in down in the chimney nook
He hung his coat upon a hook
Hung his coat upon a hook
And merely he did sing
Chorus,
In the middle of the night the ould one rose
She mist the beggar man and all his cloth's
Crapped and crapped and crapped again
Says me has me daughter gone
Chorus,
Four long years had past and gone
SongtexteWhen this old man came back again
Asking for a charity
Which she let you beggar man
I ever lodged any book to one
And with that one me daughter's gone
With that one me daughter's gone
So merely you may gang
Chorus,
Would you like to see your daughter now
With two babies on her knee
With two babies on her knee
And another one coming on
Chorus,
For yonder she sits and yonder she stands
The finest lady in all the land
Servant's there at her command
Since she went with the beggar man
Chorus.
