I am am a little beggarman
and begging I have been
For three score or more
in this little isle of green
I'm known from the Liffey down to Segue
And I'm known by the name
of old Johnny Dhu
Of all the trade's that's going
sure begging is the best
For when a man is tired
he can sit down and rest
He can beg for his dinner
he has nothing else to do
Only cut around the corner
with his old rig-a- doo

I slept in the barn, down at Caurabawn
A wet night came on and I slept 'till the dawn
With holes in the roof
and the rain coming through
And the rats and the cats
they were playing peek-a- boo
When who did I waken
but the woman of the house
With her white spotty apron
and her calico blouse
She began to frighten and I said "boo Aarah
don't be afraid mam it's only Johnny Dhu"
I met a little flaxy-haired girl one day
"Good morning little flaxy-haired girl" I did say
"Good morning little beggarman
a how do you do
With your rags and you tags
and you old rig-a- doo
I'll buy a pair of leggings, a collar and a tie
And a nice young lady I'll fetch by and by
I'll buy a pair of goggles
and I'll colour them blue
And an old fashioned lady I will make her too
Daa-da Dee-ten Dow-ten Dee-ten Dah

Over the road with my pack on my back
Over the fields
with my great heavy sack
With holes in my shoes and my toes
peeping through, singing skinny-me-rink
a doodle o and old Johnny Dhu
I must be going to bed
for it's getting late at night
The fire's all raked and out goes the light
So now you've heard the story
of my old rig-a- doo
It's good-bye and God be with you
