Gaelic Storm - The Beggarman lyrics

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 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 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
