Hi for the Beggerman

The night being dark and very cold A woman took pity on a poor old soul She took pity on a poor old soul And asked him to come in With a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi And hi for the beggarman He hung his coat upon a hook And sat in by a chimney nook He sat in by a chimney nook And merrily they did sing A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi And hi for the beggarman In the middle of the night the old woman rose She missed the beggarman and all his clothes She clapped and clapped and clapped again Says, "He's with me daughter gone" With a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi And hi for the beggarman And seven long years were passed and gone When this old man came back again Asking for a charity: "Would you give to a beggarman?" With a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi And hi for the beggarman "Would you like to see your daughter now With two babies on her knee With two babies on her knee And another one coming on?" With a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi And hi for the beggarman For he yonder sits and he understands The finest lady in all the land Servants there at her command Since she went with the beggarman With a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi And hi for the beggarman
