John MacKenzie Origins: Orgin & lyrics to Tae a Beggin I will go (10) RE: Origins: Orgin & lyrics to Tae a Beggin I will go 22 Nov 18


That's the Lancashire version I mentioned Joe, recorded by several folks including our own George Papavgeris. The one mentioned in the OP is a Scottish version that starts

O aw the trades a man kin try sure beggin' is the best
Fir when a beggar's tired he kin aye sit doon an rest
Tae the beggin ah will go will go
Tae the beggin' ah will go
