Malinky - The Beggar Man lyrics

A beggar, a beggar come o'er the lea He was askin' ludgins for charity He was askin' ludgins for charity "Wad ye lo'e a beggar man O? La**ie wi' my tow-row-ray" "A beggar, a beggar I'll never ludge again I had a dochter and Jeannie was her name I had a dochter and Jeannie was her name She run awa' wi' the beggar man O Laddie wi' my tow-row-ray" "I'll bent my back and I'll boo my knee And I'll put a black patch o'er my e'e And a beggar, a beggar ye'll tak' me tae be An' awa' wi' you I'll gang O Laddie wi' my tow-row-ray" "Oh la**ie, oh la**ie, you're far too young An' ye hinnae got the cant o' the beggin' tongue An' ye hinnae got the cant o' the beggin' tongue An' wi' me ye winnae gang O La**ie wi' my tow-row-ray" She bent her back an' she boo'd her knee An' she put a black patch o'er her e'e An' kilted her skirts up abune her knee An' awa' wi' him she's gang O Laddie wi' my tow-row-ray Yer dochter Jean's comin' o'er the lea She's takin' hame her bairnies three She's got yin on her back an' anither on her knee An' the ither yin's toddlin' hame O La**ie wi' my tow-row-ray Aye a beggar, a beggar come o'er the lea He was askin' ludgins for charity He was askin' ludgins for charity "Wad ye lo'e a beggar man O? La**ie wi' my tow-row-ray"
