The Jolly Beggar
The Jolly Beggar | |
| It's of a jolly beggarman Came tripping o'er the plain He came unto a farmer's door A lodging for to gain The farmer's daughter she came down And viewed him cheek and chin She says, He is a handsome man. I pray you take him in Chorus: We'll go no more a roving, A roving in the night We'll go no more a roving, Let the moon shine so bright We'll go no more a roving.
2. He would not lie within the barn |
3. The farmer's daughter she got up To bolt the kitchen door And there she saw the beggar Standing naked on the floor He took the daughter in his arms And to the bed he ran Kind sir, she says, be easy now, You'll waken our goodman.
4. Now you are no beggar, |
