I recall Jamie Snider singing The Old Ragadoo at Folk At The Forum in Cobourg, Ontario in the nineties. His last verse was:

And now I am a married man and settled down for life
In my cozy little cottage with my darlin', lovely wife,
But many's the time I calls to mind the days I courted Sue
With me hands in the pockets of me old ragadoo.

Jamie sang the whole song to the A part of the fiddle tune. It was sung a lot slower than the tune is played. I think he played the fiddle tune, with both parts and up to speed, after the last verse was sung.

I recall both Ian & Sylvia and Tommy Makem & The Clancy Brothers did versions of The Little Begger Man in the sixties. They sang them very quickly.

I just found another thread asking about this song:
