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

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

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

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

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

Four long years had past and gone

When 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

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

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

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

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
