tae the begging - marc gunn lyrics

Loading...

of all the trades that i do know, the beggin is the best
for when a beggar’s weary he can aye sit doon and rest

to the beggin’ i will go will go
to the beggin’ i will go

before i head out on the road, i’ll let me beard grow strong;
and my nails i will nae cut ’em, for the beggars wear them long

i’ll put no water on my hands, and little on my face;
for still the lowner like i am, the more my trade i’ll grace

and i’ll go to the tailor, with a wad of hodden gray
i’ll have him make a cloak for me, that will keep me night and day

when i come tae a farm*toon, i’ll say with hat in hand;
“will the beggar*man get quarters here? alas, i canna stand.”

and when they all come in about, it’s then i’ll start to sing
and do my best to gather them, around about the ring

if there’s a wedding in the town; you’ll surely find me there;
i’ll pour my kindest benisons, upon the happy pair

and some will give me beef and bread, and some will give me cheese;
and out and in among the folk, i’ll gaither the bawbees
if beggin’ be as good as trade, as i hope it may
it’s time that i was out o’ here, and headin’ doon the brae
