Beggar Man - Demo
One, two, three, go
Biting on the street one day
I saw a policeman
He come up to me and he did say
"What are you doing, man?"
I said I didn't think that I was doing any harm
Then he went and moved me on
I was taking alms
Have you got alms for the beggar man?
Have you got alms for the beggar man?
Oh, they call me the beggar man
Beggar man
Beggar man
Oh, the beggar man
The beggar man
I am the beggar man
So I went to another street
Yeah, to another place
Then I started biting
I thought that I was safe
Then someone came up to me
And grabbed me by the arm
It was a policeman
And I was taking alms
Have you got alms for the beggar man?
Have you got alms for the beggar man?
Oh, they call me the beggar man
Beggar man
Beggar man
Oh, the beggar man
Beggar man
I am the beggar man
Have you got two bob? Can you gimme a job?
Have you got any silver or gold?
I don't want to steal for my next meal
I want you keep me from the cold
Have you got alms for the beggar man?
Have you got alms for the beggar man?
Oh, they call me the beggar man
Beggar man
Beggar man
Oh, the beggar man
The beggar man
Yeah, the beggar man
I had a wife, I had a home, I had a family
Then I went and did them wrong, now I am so lonely
Now I walk around all day with tired and aching feet
I am just surviving, cold biting on the street
Have you got alms for the beggar man?
