[[C]It's of a jolly[C7] beggarman came[F] tripping o'er the[Am] plain
He[C] came unto a[F] farmer's door a[C] lodging
for to [G7]gain
The[C] farmer's daughter[C7] she came down and [F]viewed him cheek and[Am] chin
She[C] says, He is a[F]
handsome man. I[C] pray you take him[G7] in
We'll[C] go no more a [C7]roving, a [F]roving in the[Am] night
We'll
[C]go no more a[F] roving, let the[C] moon shine so[G7] bright
We'll[C] go no more a roving
He would not lie within
the barn nor yet within the byre
But he would in the corner lie down by the kitchen fire
o then the beggar's bed was
made of good clean sheets and hay
And down beside the kitchen fire the jolly beggar lay
The farmer's daughter she
got up to bolt the kitchen door
And there she saw the beggar standing naked on the floor
He took the daughter in his
arms and to the bed he ran
Kind sir, she says, be easy now, you'll waken our goodman
Now you are no beggar, you
are some gentleman
For you have stolen my maidenhead and I am quite undone
I am no lord, I am no squire, of beggars
I be one
And beggars they be robbers all, so you re quite undone
