Abeggin I Will Go — текст песни (Maccoll Ewan)

A-BEGGIN` I WILL GO
Of all the trades in England the beggin` is the best
For when a beggar`s tired, he can sit him down and rest
And a-beggin` I will go-o-o
And a-beggin` I will go
I`ve a poke for me ma`le and another for me rye
I`ve a bottle by me side, to drink when I am dry
CHORUS
I`ve a poke for me salt an another for me malt
I`ve a pair of little crutches, you should see how I can halt.
CHORUS
I`ve been abeggin` seven years with me ol` wooden leg
For lame I`ve been, since I was born, and so I`m forced to beg
CHORUS
In a hollow tree I pass the night, and there I pay no rent
Providence provides for me, and I am well content
CHORUS
