The ref in Little Beggarman, IIRC, is just in the last two lines, "That's the end of the tale of me ould rigadoo, So goodbye & god be with you, says Ould Donaghue".

But he hasn't mentioned it previously. So what does it mean here? Did the term "Ould Rigadoo, or Ragadoo", from association with above song, the subject of this thread, somehow become the generic term for a begging life? Or what else does it mean here?
