Maccoll Ewan - Abeggin I Will Go Lyrics

A-BEGGIN' I WILL GO Of all the trades in England the beggin' is the best For when a beggar's tired, he can sit him down and rest And a-beggin' I will go-o-o And a-beggin' I will go I've a poke for me ma'le and another for me rye I've a bottle by me side, to drink when I am dry CHORUS I've a poke for me salt an another for me malt I've a pair of little crutches, you should see how I can halt. CHORUS I've been abeggin' seven years with me ol' wooden leg For lame I've been, since I was born, and so I'm forced to beg CHORUS In a hollow tree I pass the night, and there I pay no rent Providence provides for me, and I am well content CHORUS ----------------------------------------------------------------- English Traditional Words from "Folksongs of Britain and Ireland", copyright 1984 by Oak Publications. recorded by Ewan MacColl on Manchester Angel and Carthy & Swarbrick filename[ ABEGGIN DC ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY=== Maccoll Ewan Lyrics Abeggin I Will Go Lyrics
