Lyrics

A Begging I Will Go

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, a-beggin' is the best

For when a beggar's tired, You can lay him down to rest.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

I got a pocket for me oatmeal, and another for me rye.

I got a bottle by me side to drink when I am dry.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

I got patches on me cloak, and black patch on me knee.

When you come to take me home, I'll drink as well as thee.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

I got a pocket for me ... and another for me malt

I got a pair of little crutches, you should see how I can halt.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

I sleep beneath an open tree, and there I pay no rent.

Providence provides for me, and I am well content.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

I fear no plots against me. I live an open cell.

Who would be a king then when beggars live so well.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

Of all the trades in England, a-begging is the best.

For when a beggar's tired, you can lay him down to rest.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.
