_ _ _ _ [D] I am the little beggar man of Beacon I have been I've been three score of more [Am] in this little isle of Green
[D] From the levee down to St.
Euban I know by the name of Uncle Johnny Do

Ah but when a man is fired he [Am] can sit down and rest
[D] And beg for his dinner he has nothing else to do
[D] Only crook around the corner with his own rigadoo _ _

I slept in the barn way down the corridor on a wet night
I slept in the barn [A] and I slept through the dawn with holes in the roof
And the rain coming through and the rats and the cats they were playing peek-a [C]-boo
Pushed into waking from the woman of the house [D] with her white spotty [A] apron and her calico blouse
She became frightened and I said oh Ara don't be afraid [D] man it's only Johnny Do _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Little _ _ _ begs a hurt girl all day good morning little [Am] begs a hurt girl I need to [D] say
Good morning little beggar man how do you do with your bags and your bags and your own rigadoo
[C] I'll buy you a pair of leggings and a collar and a [D] tie and a nice young [Am] lady I'll bitch by and by
[D] I'll buy you a pair of apples and colour them blue and an old fashioned lady I will make her too Lee _ singing
