The Beggarman

D
Well I'm a little beggarman, I am a 
beggarman,
D
I'm a little beggar-beggarman, I am 
a beggar man
D
Well I'm a little beggarman, I am a 
beggarman,
D
I'm a little beggar-beggarman, I am 
a beggar man
D
Well I'm a little beggarman, I am a 
beggarman,
D
I'm a little beggar-beggarman, I am 
a beggar man
D
Well I'm a little beggarman, I am a 
beggarman,
D
I'm a little beggar-beggarman, I am 
a beggar man

[Verse]
D
Well I'm a little beggarman and 
begging I have been
D
for three score or more on this 
little isle of green.
D
And I'm known from the Liffey from 
the basement to the zoo,
D                              
And I'm known by the name of old 
         C7
Johnny Dhu.
C7                                
Of all the trades that's goin' the
                D
 beggin' is the best,
D
For when a man is tired he can sit 
down and rest
D
He can beg for his dinner, he's 
nothing else to do
D
When he comes around the corner with
 his old rig-a-doo.

[Verse]
D
And I met a little flaxy-haired girl
 one day
D
'Well good morning' little 
flaxy-haired girl, ' did I say,
D
'Well good mornin' little beggarman,
 how do you do,
D                              
with your rags and your bags and 
                 C7
your old rig-a-doo.'
C7                                
I'll buy a pair of leggings and a 
             D
collar and a tie,
D
And a nice young lady I will fetch 
by and by.
D
I'll buy a pair of goggles and I'll 
color them blue

And an old fashioned lady I will 
make of her too.

[Verse]
D
And I slept way down, in a barn at 
Caurabawn
D
A wet night came on and I slept 
'till the dawn
D
With holes in the roof and the rain 
coming through
D                                 
And the rats and the cats, they 
                  C7
were playing peek-a-boo
C7                                
When who should awaken but the 
          D
woman of the house
D
With her white spotty apron and her 
calico blouse
D
She began to frighten and I said 
"Boo!
D                                 
Ah, don't be afraid ma'am it's 
         Dm
only Johnny Dhu."

D
And it's over the fields with my 
pack on my back
D                                   
    Caug
And over the fields with my great 
heavy sack
D
With the holes in my shoes and my 
toes peeping through
D                                 
Singing skinny-me-rink a doodle o 
               C7
for old Johnny Dhu
C7                            
I must be going to bed for it's 
                   D
getting late at night
D                             C7 
When the fire's all raked and out
          Dm
 goes the light
Dm                                
Now you've heard the story of me 
  Gm
old rig-a-doo
N.C.
It's goodnight and God be with you 
from old Johnny Dhu.
