Hi for the Beggerman

The night being dark and very cold
A woman took pity on a poor old soul
She took pity on a poor old soul
And asked him to come in

With a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
And hi for the beggarman

He hung his coat upon a hook
And sat in by a chimney nook
He sat in by a chimney nook
And merrily they did sing

A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
And hi for the beggarman

In the middle of the night the old woman rose
She missed the beggarman and all his clothes
She clapped and clapped and clapped again
Says, "He's with me daughter gone"

With a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
And hi for the beggarman

And seven long years were passed and gone
When this old man came back again
Asking for a charity:
"Would you give to a beggarman?"

With a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
And hi for the beggarman

"Would you like to see your daughter now
With two babies on her knee
With two babies on her knee
And another one coming on?"

With a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
And hi for the beggarman

For he yonder sits and he understands
The finest lady in all the land
Servants there at her command
Since she went with the beggarman

With a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
And hi for the beggarman
