about
Life isn't so bad. As long as I've me belly full me backside can go bare.
Just one of plenty of alternative versions of this traditional song from England, Scotland and Ireland.
lyrics
Of all the trades in England,
The beggin is the best,
For when a beggar's tired,
He can lay him down and rest.
Ch And a beggin I will go,
And a beggin I will go.
I've a pocket for me oatmeal,
And another for my salt.
I've a pair of little crutches,
You should see how I can halt.
There's patches on me fusticoat,
And a black patch on me eye.
But when it comes to t'penny ale,
I can see as well as thee.
My breaches they are nought but holes,
But me heart is free of care.
As long as I've me belly full,
My backside can go bare.
I've been deaf at Duckinfield,
And I've been blind at Shaw,
But many's the right and willin lass
I've bedded in the straw.
There's a bed for me where e're I lie,
And I don't pay no rent,
I've got no noisy looms to mind,
And I am right content.
I can rest when I am tired,
And I heed no masters bell.
You men would be mad to be a king,
When beggars live so well.
