It’s of a jolly beggarman came tripping o’er the plain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He came unto a farmer’s door a lodging for to gain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The farmer’s daughter she came down and viewed him cheek and chin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She says: “He is a handsome man, I pray you take him in”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll go no more aroving, aroving in the night<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll go no more aroving, let the moon shine so bright<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll go no more aroving<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He would not lie within the barn nor yet within the byre<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he would in the corner lie down by the kitchen fire<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh then the beggar’s bed was made of good clean sheets and hay<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And down beside the kitchen fire the jolly beggar lay<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The farmer’s daughter she got up to bolt the kitchen door<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And there she saw the beggar standing naked on the floor<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He took the daughter in his arms and to the bed he ran<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kind sir” she says “Be easy now, you’ll waken our good man<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She lay as still as any mouse as if she had been dead<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The beggar he jumped in with her and he stole her maid head<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now you are no beggar, you are some gentleman,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For you have stolen my maidenhead and I am quite undone<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am no lord, I am no squire, of beggars I be one,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And beggars they be robbers all, so you are quite undone<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She took her bed in both her hands and threw it at the wall<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Says “Go ye with the beggarman, my maidenhead and all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
