The Little Beggar Girl — текст песни (thompson richard)

I`m just a little beggar girl and Sally is my name
You can call me a skiver and I`ll call you the same
You can show me you`re sorry if you think it`s a shame
That I`m only a poor little beggar girl
Yes I`m only a poor little beggar girl
You can show me you`re sorry if you think it`s a shame
That I`m only a poor little beggar girl

I`ll dance with my peg leg a-wiggling at the knee
I`ll play on the accordion my father gave to me
For it`s well worth it all to please a gent such as thee
For I`m only a poor little beggar girl
Yes I`m only a poor little beggar girl
And it`s well worth it all to please a gent such as thee
For I`m only a poor little beggar girl

I`ve been down to London, I`ve been up to Crewe
I travel far and wide to do the work that I do
`Cause I love taking money off a snob like you
For I`m only a poor little beggar girl
Yes I`m only a poor little beggar girl
And I love taking money off a snob like you
For I`m only a poor little beggar girl

Oh the poor they will be rich and the rich they will be poor
That`s according to Saul when he wrote down the law
And I`d much rather be rich after than before
For I`m only a poor little beggar girl
Yes I`m only a poor little beggar girl
And I`d much rather be rich after than before
For I`m only a poor little beggar girl

If the words of my song do your conscience alarm
Just remember generosity is like a lucky charm
If you give me your money, it`ll do you no harm
For I`m only a poor little beggar girl
Yes I`m only a poor little beggar girl
If you give me your money, it`ll do you no harm
For I`m only a poor little beggar girl
