Julocka Jolly

歌詞

Ah, there was a jolly beggar and a-begging he was bound And the beggar took his quarters into Hexham Town But he wasn't lying with the lady or the squire He was in behind the kitchen door or by the kitchen fire And the beggar's made his bed up out of bits of straw and hay And in behind the kitchen door the jolly beggar lay Well the good lady of the house got up to bar the door She found the jolly beggar standing naked on the floor Well he's took her up all in his arms and to her bed he's run Oh be quiet with me now, good sir, you'll waken my good man But the beggar took no heed of her and carried on his poke And when he got the job well done well he began to joke Are there any cats or dogs about would rive up all me gear? Oh the devil take your tatters now me maidenhead's away But the good lady's up again before the hour of day To make the beggar's breakfast up before he went away Ah, she went down to the cellar for to pour a pot of ale And the beggar followed after and he did the job again He's took her up all in his arms and he gave her kisses three He's gave her twenty guineas for to pay the nurses fee And then he's took a horn from out his bag and he played it loud and shrill And four and twenty serving men came riding o'er the hill But the beggar was a canny lad and he leaped shoulder high Says I've never had such lodgings as I had last night
