Malinky - The Beggar Man Lyrics

A beggar, a beggar come o'er the lea
He was askin' ludgins for charity
He was askin' ludgins for charity
"Wad ye lo'e a beggar man O?
Lassie wi' my tow-row-ray"

"A beggar, a beggar I'll never ludge again
I had a dochter and Jeannie was her name
I had a dochter and Jeannie was her name
She run awa' wi' the beggar man O
Laddie wi' my tow-row-ray"

"I'll bent my back and I'll boo my knee
And I'll put a black patch o'er my e'e
And a beggar, a beggar ye'll tak' me tae be
An' awa' wi' you I'll gang O
Laddie wi' my tow-row-ray"

"Oh lassie, oh lassie, you're far too young
An' ye hinnae got the cant o' the beggin' tongue
An' ye hinnae got the cant o' the beggin' tongue
An' wi' me ye winnae gang O
Lassie wi' my tow-row-ray"

She bent her back an' she boo'd her knee
An' she put a black patch o'er her e'e
An' kilted her skirts up abune her knee
An' awa' wi' him she's gang O
Laddie wi' my tow-row-ray

Yer dochter Jean's comin' o'er the lea
She's takin' hame her bairnies three
She's got yin on her back an' anither on her knee
An' the ither yin's toddlin' hame O
Lassie wi' my tow-row-ray

Aye a beggar, a beggar come o'er the lea
He was askin' ludgins for charity
He was askin' ludgins for charity
"Wad ye lo'e a beggar man O?
Lassie wi' my tow-row-ray"
