| | | Artist: | MacColl Ewan |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Abeggin I Will Go | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 381 | | | | Lyrics: | A-BEGGIN' I WILL GO
Of all the trades in England the beggin' is the best
For when a
beggar's tired, he can sit him down and rest
And a-beggin' I will go-o-o
And a-beggin' I will go
I've a poke for me ma'le and another for me rye
I've a
bottle by me side, to drink when I am dry
CHORUS
I've a poke for me salt
an another for me malt
I've a pair of little crutches, you should see how I can
halt.
CHORUS
I've been abeggin' seven years with me ol' wooden
leg
For lame I've been, since I was born, and so I'm forced to beg
CHORUS
In a hollow tree I pass the night, and there I pay no rent
Providence
provides for me, and I am well content
CHORUS
