GUEST,Erlend Gjerde	Lyr Req: The Beggar (Fairport Convention) (5)	Lyr Req: The Beggar (Fairport Convention)	02 May 05
On one of their albums Fairport Convention has recorded a song called "The Beggar". The chorus goes like this: Let the back and sides go bare me boys Let the hands and the feet grow cold But give to the belly boys beer enough Whether it be new or old At least it sounds like they sing "belly boys", but it sounds rather weird I think. On another thread here I saw "beggar boys" which is more meaningfull, anyone who's heard Fairport and care to explain? I would also like to have the complete lyrics. I found the first and (I think) the last verse on another thread here, anyone who's got the two in the middle?
