Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Jolly Beggerman
Subject: What are the words!
If anyone can give me the remining verses to a song I'm calling "the Jolly Beggerman" I would be eternally grateful.

The first verse goes like this:

It's of a jolly beggerman came tripping o're the plains He came unto a farmer's door a lodging for to gain The farmer's daughter she came and viewed him cheek to chin She says, "you are a handsom man I pray we'll take you in

Then the Chorus goes:

I'll go no more a rovin', rovin' in the night I'll go no more a rovin' let the moon shine so bright I'll go no more a rovin'
