Jolly Rogers Tae The Beggin'
Of a' the trades that Ido ken, the beggin is the best For
when a beggar's weary he can aye sit doon and rest
Chorus:
Tae the beggin' I will go will go,
tae the beggin' I will go.
It's I'll gyang tae the cobbler, An' gar him sort my
shoon;
An inch thick tae the boddam, An' clooted weel abune.
(Chorus)
An' I will tae the tailor, Wi' a wab o' hodden gray,
An' gar him mak' a cloak for me, Will hap me nicht and
day.
(Chorus)
