A-begging I will go
Traditional
.
Of all the trades in England, a-beggin' is the best
For when a beggar's tired, he can lay him down to rest.
And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.
And a-begging I will go, a-begging I will go.

Got a pocket for me oatmeal, and another for me rye.
I got a bottle by me side for to drink when I am dry.

I got patches on me cloak, a black patch on me knee.
And when you come to take me home, I'll drink as well as thee.

Got a pocket for me meal and another for me malt
Got a pair of little crutches, you should see how I can halt.

I sleep beneath an open tree, and there I pay no rent.
Providence provides for me, and I am well content.

I fear no plots against me. I live an open cell.
Who would be a king then when beggars live so well.

Of all the trades in England, a-begging is the best.
For when a beggar's tired, he can lay him down to rest.
