Jolly Beggar Dude (Auld Rigadoo) Lyricsby Grease Buy album CD: New Broadway Cast Recording Well, I am a little beggarman, a begging I have been, For three score or more in the little isle of green; All over the Liffey and down to Segue, I'm known by the name of auld Johnny Dhu. Of all the trades a going, begging is the best, When a man gets tired he can sit down and rest; Sing for his supper when there's nothing left to do, When I come around the corner with me old rigadoo. I went to a barn, went down to Currabawn, Got down on the floor and I slept till the dawn; Holes in the roof and the rain seeping thru, Me toes froze together in me little beggar shoes. Buy a pair of leggings and a collar and a tie, A nice old lady you will find by and by; Buy a pair of leggings and I'll color them blue, For a foxy old lady I'll make her do. (way hey and away we go) I met a little flaxen haired girl one day, Good morning, little flaxen haired girl, I did say; Good morning, little beggarman, how do you do, With your bags and your rags and your auld rigadoo? Who should I waken but the woman of the house, With her white spotted apron and her calico blouse; She began to frighten so I said boo, Sure, don't be afraid, it's only Johnny Dhu. Over the road with me pack on me back, Over all the fields with me big heavy sack; Over the hills with the moon peeking through, Singing, skin a ma rink a doodle on me auld rigadoo. I must be going to bed, it's getting late at night, The fire is all out, so out goes the light; Now you've heard the story of the auld rigadoo, So good night and God be with you, this is auld Johnny Dhu.
