The Dubliners - The Beggarman lyrics

The night was dark and very cold When I took pity on a poor soul I took pity on a poor soul And let in a beggarman Me Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi And Hi for the beggarman He crept into a cozy nook He hung his hat upon a hook He hung his hat upon a hook And soon was fast asleep Me Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi And Hi for the beggarman When he awoke at the first day light He gazed upon a lovely sight He gazed upon a lovely sight 'Twas the daughter of the house Me Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi And Hi for the beggarman They spent the time in sport and play He said to her will you away He said to her will you away And follow the road with me Me Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi And Hi for the beggarman When the mother arose she looked around No sign of her daughter could be found No sign of her daughter could be found She's away with the beggarman Me Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi And Hi for the beggarman The time went by and one late hour There came a knock upon a door There came a knock upon a door And there was the beggarman Me Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi And Hi for the beggarman Would you like to see your daughter ma'm With two babies on her knee With two babies on her knee And another one coming on Me Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi And Hi for the beggarman So when the nights are dark and cold Beware of the beggar man so bold Beware of the beggar man so bold With his sly and clattering ways Me Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi Too-roo-roo-roo rantin' hi And Hi for the beggarman And Hi for the beggarman
