G Am G C G Am G C G (2x)
[Verse 1]
C D
It's of a jolly beggarman, came tripping o'er the plain
G C G D
He came unto a farmer's door, a lodging for to gain
G C D
The farmer's daughter, she came down and viewed him cheek and chin
Em C G D
She said, "He is a handsome man, I pray you take him in"
[Chorus]
G
We'll go no more a-roving
Am D
A-roving in the night
G C
We'll go no more a-roving
G D
Let the moon shine out so bright
G
We'll go no more a-roving
[Verse 2]
C D
He would no lie within the barn, nor yet within the byre
G C G D
But he would in the corner lie down, by the kitchen fire
G C D
Ah, then the beggar's bed was made of good clean sheets and hay
Em C G D
And down beside the kitchen fire, the jolly beggar lay
[Chorus]
G
We'll go no more a-roving
Am D
A-roving in the night
G C
We'll go no more a-roving
G D
Let the moon shine out so bright
G
We'll go no more a-roving
[Verse 3]
C D
The farmer's daughter, she got up, to bolt the kitchen door
G C G D
And there she saw the beggar standing, naked on the floor
G C D
He took the daughter in his hands and to the bed he ran
Em C G D
"Kind sir," she says, "Be easy now, you'll waken our good man"
[Chorus]
G
We'll go no more a-roving
Am D
A-roving in the night
G C
We'll go no more a-roving
G D
Let the moon shine out so bright
G
We'll go no more a-roving

[Verse 4]
C D
"Now you are no beggar, you are some gentleman
G C G D
For ye did steal my maidenhead, and I am quite undone"
G C D
"I am no lord, I am no squire, of beggars I be one
Em C G D
And beggars, they be robbers all, so you are quite undone"
[Chorus]
G
We'll go no more a-roving
Am D
A-roving in the night
G C
We'll go no more a-roving
G D
Let the moon shine out so bright
G
We'll go no more a-roving
[Chorus]
G
We'll go no more a-roving
Am D
A-roving in the night

We'll go no more a-roving
