Tae the Beggin’ Lyrics[Verse 1]
Oh, of aw the trades that I dae ken, oh, the beggin is the best
For when a beggar's weary he can sit him doun and rest
Tae the beggin I will go, will go, tae the beggin I will go

[Verse 2]
And I will tae the tailor wi a wab o hodden gray
And gar him mak a cloak for me to hap me night and day
Tae the beggin I will go, will go, tae the beggin I will go

[Verse 3]
And I will tae the cobbler and I'll gar him sort my shuin
An inch thick tae the bottom and cluitered weel abuin
Tae the beggin I will go, will go, tae the bеggin I will go
[Verse 4]
And I will tae the tanner and I'll gar him mak a dish
And it maun haud three chappins, for I cannaе dae wi less
Tae the beggin I will go, will go, tae the beggin I will go

[Verse 5]
[?] I begin my trade, I'll let my beard grow strang
Nor pare my nails this year or day for the beggars wear them lang
Tae the beggin I will go, will go, tae the beggin I will go

[Verse 6]
And I'll gang seek my lodgins afore that it grows dark
Acause when the guidman's sittin doun and new-hame frae his wark
Tae the beggin I will go, will go, tae the beggin I will go

[Verse 7]
And mebbe the guidman will say, "Guidman, ye'll hae yer meal
Ye're welcome tae your brose the nicht, likewise your breid and kail,"
Tae the beggin I will go, will go, tae the beggin I will go

[Verse 8]
Nou if beggin be as good a trade, and as I hope it may
It's time that I was oot o here and haudin doun the brae
Tae the beggin I will go, will go, tae the beggin I will go

[Instrumental: "The Periwig"]
[Verse 1]
Oh, of aw the trades that I dae ken, oh, the beggin is the best
For when a beggar's weary he can sit him doun and rest
Tae the beggin I will go, will go, tae the beggin I will go
