CAPO: 5th Fret
[INTRO:] C
[VERSE 1:]
G
The night being dark and very cold
A woman took pity on a poor old soul
C
She took pity on a poor old soul
G C
And asked him to come in
[CHORUS:]
G
With his too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
And a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
G C
And hi for the beggarman
[VERSE 2:]
G
He sat him down in a chimney nook
He hung his coat upon a hook
C
He hung his coat upon a hook
G C
And merrily he did sing
[CHORUS:]
G
Ah ha, too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
G C
And hi for the beggarman
[VERSE 3:]
G
In the middle of the night the old woman rose
She missed the beggarman and all his clothes
C
She clapped and clapped and clapped again
G C
Says, "He has me daughter gone"
[CHORUS:]
G
With his too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
G C
And hi for the beggarman
[VERSE 4:]
G
Three long years have passed and gone
When this old man came back again
C
Asking for a charity
G C
"Would you lodge a beggarman?"
[VERSE 5:]
G
"I never lodged any but the one
And with that one me daughter's gone
C
With that one me daughter's gone
G C
So merrily you may gang"
[CHORUS:]
G
With your too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
G C
And hi for the beggarman
[VERSE 5:]
G
"Would you like to see your daughter now
With two babbies on her knee
C
With two babbies on her knee
G C
And another coming on?"
[VERSE 5:]
G
"For yonder she sits and yonder she stands
The finest lady in all the land
C
Servants there at her command
G C
Since she went with the beggarman"
[CHORUS:]
G
With his too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
And a too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
C
Too-roo roo-roo rantin hi
G C
And hi for the beggarman
