Hi For The Beggarman

C

                              G
The night being dark and very cold
A woman took pity on a poor old soul
C
She took pity on a poor old soul
              G       C
And asked him to come in

                                G
With his too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
And a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
               G     C
And hi for the beggarman

                             G
He sat him down in a chimney nook
He hung his coat upon a hook
   C
He hung his coat upon a hook
            G      C
And merrily he did sing

                              G
Ah ha, too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
               G     C
And hi for the beggarman

                                         G
In the middle of the night the old woman rose
She missed the beggarman and all his clothes
    C
She clapped and clapped and clapped again
                 G        C
Says, "He has me daughter gone"

                                G
With his too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
               G     C
And hi for the beggarman

                                 G
Three long years have passed and gone
When this old man came back again
C
Asking for a charity
                   G     C
"Would you lodge a beggarman?"

                            G
"I never lodged any but the one
And with that one me daughter's gone
C
With that one me daughter's gone
           G       C
So merrily you may gang"

                                 G
With your too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
               G     C
And hi for the beggarman

                                     G
"Would you like to see your daughter now
With two babbies on her knee
C
With two babbies on her knee
            G      C
And another coming on?"

                                    G
"For yonder she sits and yonder she stands
The finest lady in all the land
C
Servants there at her command
                        G     C
Since she went with the beggarman"

                                G
With his too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
And a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
               G     C
And hi for the beggarman
