Paragraph Lyric
Note: This is the hidden track, sung by Séan. The traditional version ofthis song is sung at live concerts by Darrell, and is known as LittleBeggarmanWell I am a little beggarman, a begging I have beenFor three score years in the little isle of greenAll over the Liffey and down to SegueI'm known by the name of auld Johnny DhuOf all the trades a going, begging is the bestWhen a man gets tired he can sit down and restSing for his supper when there's nothing left to doWhen I come around the corner with me old rigadooI went to a barn, went down to CurrabawnGot down on the floor and I slept till the dawnHoles in the roof and the rain seeping thruMe toes froze together in me little beggar shoesBuy a pair of leggings and a collar and a tieA nice old lady you will find by and byBuy a pair of leggings and I'll color them blueFor a foxy old lady I'll make her tooI met a little flaxen haired girl one dayGood morning little flaxen haired girl, I did sayGood morning little beggarman how do you doWith your bags and your rags and your auld rigadooWho should I waken but the woman of the houseWith her white spotted apron and her calico blouseShe began to frighten so I said booSure, don't be afraid, it's only Johnny DhuOver the road with me pack on me backOver all the fields with me big heavy sackOver the hills with the moon peeking throughSinging, skin a ma rink a doodle on me auld rigadooI must be going to bed, it's getting late at nightThe fire is all out, so out goes the lightNow you've heard the story of the auld rigadooSo good night and God be with you, this is auld Johnny Dhu
