Richard & Linda Thompson - The Little Beggar Girl lyrics

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 If the words of my song do your conscience alarm Just remember generosity is like a lucky charm If you give me your money, it'll do you no harm For I'm only a poor little beggar girl Yes I'm only a poor little beggar girl If you give me your money, it'll do you no harm For I'm only a poor little beggar girl
