with his to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
a to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
and hi for the beggar man
with his to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
a to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
and hi for the beggar man
the night being dark and very cold
a woman took pity on a poor old soul
she took pity on a poor old soul
and asked him to come in
with his to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
a to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
and hi for the beggar man
he sat down in a chimney nook
he hung his coat up on a hook
he hung his coat up on a hook
and merrily he did sing
with his to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
a to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
and hi for the beggar man
In the middle of the night, the old one rose
she missed the beggar man and all his clothes
she clapped and clapped and clapped again
saying he has my daughter gone
with his to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
a to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
and hi for the beggar man
three long years had passed and gone
since that man came back again
asking for her charity
would she lodge a beggar man
I've never lodged any but the one
and with that one, my daughter's gone
and with that one, my daughter's gone
so merrily you may gang
with his to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
a to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
and hi for the beggar man
yonder there your daughter stands
she is the finest in the land
and servants there at her command
said she went with the beggar man
with his to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
a to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
and hi for the beggar man
with his to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
a to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
and hi for the beggar man
with his to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
a to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
to-roo-roo-roo rent-en-hi
and hi for the beggar man
