beggar man - archie roach lyrics

Loading...

biting on the street one day
i saw a policeman
he come up to me and he did say
“what are you doing son?”

i said i didn’t think that i was doing any harm
then he went and moved me on
said 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
the beggar man, beggar man
oh, the beggar man
i am the beggar man

so i went to another street, went 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
the beggar man, beggar man
oh, the 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
won’t 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
the beggar man, beggar man
oh, the beggar man
i am the beggar man

i had a wife, i had a home, i had a family
then i went and did them wrong and i am so lonely
now i walk around all day with tired and aching feet
and i am just surviving, cold biting on the street

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

the beggar man
i am the beggar man
