The night being dark and very Gcold A woman took pity on a poor old soul CShe took pity on a poor old soul And asked him Gto come Cin
[CHORUS:]
With his too-roo roo-roo rantin Ghi And a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi CToo-roo roo-roo rantin hi And hi for the GbeggarCman
[VERSE 2:]
He sat him down in a chimney Gnook He hung his coat upon a hook He Chung his coat upon a hook And merrily Ghe did Csing
[CHORUS:]
Ah ha, too-roo roo-roo rantin Ghi Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi CToo-roo roo-roo rantin hi And hi for the GbeggarCman
[VERSE 3:]
In the middle of the night the old woman Grose She missed the beggarman and all his clothes She Cclapped and clapped and clapped again Says, "He has me Gdaughter Cgone"
[CHORUS:]
With his too-roo roo-roo rantin Ghi Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi CToo-roo roo-roo rantin hi And hi for the GbeggarCman
[VERSE 4:]
Three long years have passed and Ggone When this old man came back again CAsking for a charity "Would you lodge a GbeggarCman?"
[VERSE 5:]
"I never lodged any but the Gone And with that one me daughter's gone CWith that one me daughter's gone So merrily Gyou may Cgang"
[CHORUS:]
With your too-roo roo-roo rantin Ghi Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi CToo-roo roo-roo rantin hi And hi for the GbeggarCman
[VERSE 5:]
"Would you like to see your daughter Gnow With two babbies on her knee CWith two babbies on her knee And another Gcoming Con?"
[VERSE 5:]
"For yonder she sits and yonder she Gstands The finest lady in all the land CServants there at her command Since she went with the GbeggarCman"
[CHORUS:]
With his too-roo roo-roo rantin Ghi And a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi CToo-roo roo-roo rantin hi And hi for the GbeggarCman
