The Beggarman Lyrics - Singles - Gaelic Storm

Well, I'm a little beggarman, I am a beggarman 

I'm a little beggar, beggarman, I am a beggarman 

Well, I'm a little beggarman, I am a beggarman 

I'm a little beggar, beggarman, I am a beggarman 

Well, I'm a little beggarman, I am a beggarman 

I'm a little beggar, beggarman, I am a beggarman 

Well, I'm a little beggarman, I am a beggarman 

I'm a little beggar, beggarman, I am a beggarman 

Well, I'm a little beggarman and begging I have been 

I've three score or more on this little isle of green 

And I'm known from the Liffey from the basement to the zoo 

And I'm known by the name of old Johnny Dhu 

Of all the trades that's goin' the beggin' is the best 

For when a man is tired he can sit down and rest 

He can beg for his dinner, he's nothing else to do 

When he comes around the corner with his old rig-a-doo

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I met a little flaxy haired girl one day 

'Well good morning' little flaxy haired girl', I did say 

'Well good mornin', little beggarman and how do you do 

With your rags and your bags and your old rig-a-doo" 

I'll buy a pair of leggings and a collar and a tie 

And a nice young lady I will fetch by and by 

I'll buy a pair of goggles and I'll color them blue 

And an old fashioned lady I will make of her too 

I've got the sky, I've got the road 

I've got the sky, the world is my home 

Well, I'm a little beggarman, I am a beggarman 

I'm a little beggar, beggarman, I am a beggarman 

Well, I'm a little beggarman, I am a beggarman 

I'm a little beggar, beggarman, I am a beggarman 

And I slept way down, in a barn at Caurabawn 

A wet night came on and I slept till the dawn 

With the holes in the roof and the rain coming through 

And the rats and the cats, they were playing peek-a-boo 

Photos 

Who should awaken but the woman of the house 

With her white spotty apron and her calico blouse 

She began to frighten and I said, "Boo 

Ah, don't be afraid ma'am it's only Johnny Dhu" 

I've got the sky, I've got the moon 

I've got the sky, the world is my home 

And it's over the fields with my pack on my back 

And over the fields with my great heavy sack 

With the holes in my shoes and my toes peeping through 

Singing, "[Incomprehensible] doodle o for old Johnny Dhu" 

I must be going to bed for it's getting late at night 

When the fire's all raked and out goes the light 

Now you've heard the story of me old rig-a-doo 

It's goodnight and God be with you from old Johnny Dhu 

I've got the sky, I've got the road 

I've got the sky, the world is my home 

I've got the sky, I've got the road 

I've got the sky, the world is my home 

I've got the sky, I've got the road
