Hi for the Beggerman

[Verse 1]
The night being dark and very cold
A woman took pity on a poor old soul
She took pity on a poor old soul
And asked him to come in

[Chorus]
With a too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
A too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
And a hi for the beggarman

[Verse 2]
He hung his coat upon a hook
He sat him by a chimney nook
He sat him by a chimney nook
And merrily he did sing

[Chorus]
A too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
A too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
And a hi for the beggarman

[Verse 3]
In the middle of the night the old woman rose
She missed the beggarman and all his clothes
She clapped and clapped and clapped again
Says, "He has me daughter gone"

[Chorus]
With his too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
A too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
And a hi for the beggarman

[Verse 4]
Now seven long years have passed and gone
When this old man came back again
Asking for a charity:
"Would you give a beggarman?"

[Chorus]
With your too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
A too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
And a hi for the beggarman

[Verse 5]
"Would you like to see your daughter now
With two babies on her knee
With two babies on her knee
And another one coming on?"

[Chorus]
With too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
A too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
A too-roo roo-roo rantin' hi
And a hi for the beggarman

[Verse 6]
"For he yonder sits and yonder stands
The finest lady in all the land
Servants there at her command
Since he went with the beggarman"

[Chorus]
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
A too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
And a hi for the beggarman
