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
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
He would not lie within the barn nor yet
within the byre
But he would in the corner lie down by the kitchen fire
o then the
beggar's bed was made of good clean sheets and hay
And down beside the kitchen fire the jolly
beggar lay
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
Now you are no beggar,
you are some gentleman
For you have stolen my maidenhead and I am quite undone
I am no
lord, I am no squire, of beggars I be one
And beggars they be robbers all, so you re quite
undone
_______
Child #279
One of the Scottish kings (James IV?) was reputed
to wander his
kingdom in disguise seducing girls.
