lirik lagu little beggarman – arlo guthrie
traditional, adapted
by arlo guthrie
i am a little beggar and a beggar i have been
for three score’r more in this little isle of green
and i’m known from the liffy down to segue
and i’m known by the name of bold donahue
of all the trades a-goin’ now sure beggin is the best
when a man gets tired he can lay him down to rest
he can beg for his dinner when there’s nothing left to do
then just cut around the corner with his old rigadoo
i slept in a barn way down in curabawn
a-waitin’ in for the mornin’ i slept till the dawn
with the holes in the roof and the rain a-comin’ through
and the cats and the rats they were playin’ peeka-boo
who should awaken but the woman of the house
with here white spotted apr-n and her calico blouse
she began to frighten when i said boo!
sayin’ don’t be afraid ma’am it’s old johnny dhu.
i met a little flaxy haired girl one day,
good morning little flaxy haired girl i say
good morning little beggar man and how do you do
with your rags and your tags and your old rigaioo
buy a pair of leggings and a collar and a be
and a nice big lady i will fetch by and by
buy a pair of goggles and i’ll color them blue
and an old fashioned lady i will make her too
over the fields with the pack on my back
over the field with my great heavy sack
with the holes in my shoes and the toes a’peekin’ through
singin’ skittilee rink-a-doodle it’s the old johnny dhu
must be going to bed boys, it’s gettin’ late at night
all the fire’s all raked and up goes the light
and now you’ve heard the story of my old rigadoo
it’s “good-bye god be with you’ sings the old johnny dhu.
