I would sooner be a beggar as a king
I'll tell you
the reason why:
A king cannot swagger or walk like a beggar
Or be half so happy as
I.
cho: Let your back and sides go bare, me boys
Hands and feet grow
cold.
But give to your belly, boys, ale enough
Whether it be new or
old.
I've sixpence in me pocket and I worked hard for that
Landlord, here it
is.
There isn't any Turk going to make me work
While the beggin' is as good as it
is.
Sometimes we call at a nobleman's hall
Beg for bread and beer.
Sometimes we
are lame, sometimes we are blind
Sometimes too deaf too hear.
Sometimes we lie like
hogs in a sty,
Frost and snow on the ground.
Sometimes eat a crust that's rolled in the
dust
And be thankful if that can be found.
Recorded by David Jones- Cruisin' Round
Yarmouth
Popularized, as far as I know, by RAF pilots in WWII-RG
