Black Is The Color
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Of all the trades in England the beggin' is the best
For when a beggar's tired, he can lay him down and rest
And a-beggin' I will go-o-o
And a-beggin' I will go
I got on the train in Carlisle they kicked me out in Crewe
I slept on every paving-stone from there to Waterloo
I got breakfast off the Embankment I got my lunch and tea
And only the finest cardboard made a home that was fit for me
We sit on the stair at Leicester Square from 7 o'clock till ten
Then round the back of the Connaught House for dinner from out of a bin
