Hi For The Beggarman

The night being dark and very cold

A woman took pity on a poor old soul

She took pity on a poor old soul
              G       C
And asked him to come in

With his too-roo roo-roo rantin hi

And a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
               G     C
And hi for the beggarman


[VERSE 2:]
                             G
He sat him down in a chimney nook

He hung his coat upon a hook
   C
He hung his coat upon a hook
            G      C
And merrily he did sing


[CHORUS:]
                              G
Ah ha, too-roo roo-roo rantin hi

Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
               G     C
And hi for the beggarman

[VERSE 3:]
In the middle of the night the old 
      G
woman rose

She missed the beggarman and all his
 clothes
    C
She clapped and clapped and clapped 
again
                 G        C
Says, "He has me daughter gone"

                                G
With his too-roo roo-roo rantin hi

Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi

Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
               G     C
And hi for the beggarman


[VERSE 4:]
Three long years have passed and 
G
gone

When this old man came back again
C
Asking for a charity
                   G     C
"Would you lodge a beggarman?"


[VERSE 5:]
                            G
"I never lodged any but the one

And with that one me daughter's gone
C
With that one me daughter's gone
           G       C
So merrily you may gang"


[CHORUS:]
                                 G
With your too-roo roo-roo rantin hi

Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
               G     C
And hi for the beggarman


[VERSE 5:]
"Would you like to see your daughter
 G
 now

With two babbies on her knee
C
With two babbies on her knee
            G      C
And another coming on?"


[VERSE 5:]
"For yonder she sits and yonder she 
G
stands

The finest lady in all the land
C
Servants there at her command
                        G     C
Since she went with the beggarman"


[CHORUS:]
                                G
With his too-roo roo-roo rantin hi

And a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
               G     C
And hi for the beggarman
