A beggar, a beggar cam ower the lea
He was asking lodgin for charity.
He was asking lodgin for charity,
“Wid ye loo a beggar man-o?
Lassie, wi ma tow row ray

“A beggar, a beggar, I'll never loo again.
I had a dochter and Jeannie was her name.
I had a dochter and Jeannie was her name;
She's awa with the beggar man-o,
Lassie wi ma tow row ray.

“I'll bend my back an I'll boo my knee
An I'll pit a black patch oer my ee.
And a beggar, a beggar they'll tak me to be
An awa wi you I'll gang-o.”
Laddie wi ma tow row ray

“Oh lassie, oh lassie, yer far ower young
An ye hannae got the cant o the beggin tongue.
An ye hannae got the cant o the beggin tongue
An wi me ye winnae gang-o.”
Lassie, wi ma tow row ray.

She's bent her back and she's booed her knee
She's put a black patch oer her ee.
An she has kilted her skirts up aboun her knee
An awa wi him she's gan-o,
Laddie, wi ma tow row ray.

“Yer dochter Jean's comin ower the lea;
She's taken hame her bairnies three
She has yin on her back, ay, an another on her knee
An the other yin is toddlin hame-o.”
Lassie, wi ma tow row ray.
