The Little Beggar Girl Lyrics - Richard & Linda Thompson

I'm just a little beggar girl and Sally is my name 

You can call me a skiver and I'll call you the same 

You can show me you're sorry if you think it's a shame 

That I'm only a poor little beggar girl 

Yes I'm only a poor little beggar girl 

You can show me you're sorry if you think it's a shame 

That I'm only a poor little beggar girl 

I'll dance with my peg leg a-wiggling at the knee 

I'll play on the accordion my father gave to me 

For it's well worth it all to please a gent such as thee 

For I'm only a poor little beggar girl 

Yes I'm only a poor little beggar girl 

And it's well worth it all to please a gent such as thee 

For I'm only a poor little beggar girl 

I've been down to London, I've been up to Crewe 

I travel far and wide to do the work that I do 

'Cause I love taking money off a snob like you 

For I'm only a poor little beggar girl 

Yes I'm only a poor little beggar girl 

And I love taking money off a snob like you 

For I'm only a poor little beggar girl 

Oh the poor they will be rich and the rich they will be poor 

That's according to Saul when he wrote down the law 

And I'd much rather be rich after than before 

For I'm only a poor little beggar girl 

Yes I'm only a poor little beggar girl 

And I'd much rather be rich after than before 

For I'm only a poor little beggar girl
