I am a little beggarman, a beggar I've been
For three score years on this little isle of green
I'm known from the Liffey way down to (?) Cooraba
And I'm known by the name of old Johnny Dhu

(B part)
Now of all your trades a-goin' now your beggin is the best
For when a man is tired he can lay down to rest
You beg for your livin' 'cause there's nothin' else to do
Except skinamarack-a-doodle-idle-eedle-idle-doo (?? I'm not Irish)

I met a little flaxen-haired girl one day
"Good mornin', little flaxy-haired girl." I did say
"Good mornin' little beggarman, and how do you do
With your rags and your tags and your old rigadoo?"

I slept in a barn way down by Coolabagh [sp ?]
Slept in the barn and I slept 'til the dawn
With holes in the roof and the rain comin' through
And the cats and the rats they were playin peek-a-boo.

{B} When who should awaken but the woman of the house
In a white spotted apron and a calico blouse
She began to frighten and I said "Boo!"
"But don't be afraid m'am, it's only Johnny Dhu."

Now buy yourself some leggings and a collar and a tie
And a nice pretty lady I will fetch you by-and-by...^^^

that's where me memory fails me. Hope it helps some. I think it was recorded by The Clancy Brothers
