The night being dark and very cold

A woman took pity on a poor old soul

She missed the beggarman and all his clothes

Three long years have passed and gone

When this old man came back again

Asking for a charity
                   G     C
"Would you lodge a beggarman?"

With two babbies on her knee

With two babbies on her knee
            G      C
And another coming on?"

"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"
