《The Little Beggarman》歌词

[00:00:00] The Little Beggarman - Tommy Makem

[00:00:03] I am a little beggar-man and begging I have been

[00:00:05] For three score or more in this little isle of green

[00:00:08] I'm known from the liffey down to segue

[00:00:11] And I'm known by the name of old johnny dhu

[00:00:13] Of all the trade's that's going sure begging is the best

[00:00:16] For when a man is tired he can sit down and rest

[00:00:19] He can beg for his dinner he has nothing else to do

[00:00:21] Only cut around the corner with his old rig a doo

[00:00:27] I slept in the barn down at caurabawn

[00:00:29] A wet night came on and I slept 'till the dawn

[00:00:32] With holes in the roof and the rain coming through

[00:00:34] And the rats and the cats they were playing peek a boo

[00:00:37] Who should I waken but the woman of the house

[00:00:39] With her white spotty apron and her calico blouse

[00:00:42] She began to frighten and I said boo

[00:00:45] Aarah don't be afraid mam it's only johnny dhu

[00:00:50] I met a little flaxy haired girl one day

[00:00:53] Good morning little flaxy haired girl I did say

[00:00:55] Good morning little beggar-man a how do you do

[00:00:58] With your rags and you tags and you old rig a doo

[00:01:00] I'll buy a pair of leggings a collar and a tie

[00:01:03] And a nice young lady I'll fetch by and by

[00:01:05] I'll buy a pair of goggles and I'll color them blue

[00:01:08] And an old fashioned lady I will make her too

[00:01:13] Over the road with my pack on my back

[00:01:16] Over the fields with my great heavy sack

[00:01:18] With holes in my shoes and my toes peeping through

[00:01:21] Singing skinny me rink a doodle o and old johnny dhu

[00:01:23] I must be going to bed for it's getting late at night

[00:01:26] The fire's all raked and out goes the light

[00:01:29] So now you've heard the story of my old rig a doo

[00:01:32] It's good bye and god be with you says old johnny dhu
