[verse 1]
of all the trades that i do ken, well the beggin’ is the best
for when a beggar’s weary he can aye sit down and rest

[chorus]
tae the beggin’ i will go, will go
tae the beggin’ i will go

[verse 2]
an’ i’ll gang tae the cobbler, an’ gar him sort my shoon
an inch thick tae the bottom, an’ clooted weel taebune

[chorus]
tae the beggin’ i will go, will go
tae the beggin’ i will go

[verse 3]
an’ i’ll gang tae the tailor, wi’ a wab o’ hodden gray
an’ gar him mak’ a cloak for me, to help me night and day

[chorus]
tae the beggin’ i will go, will go
tae the beggin’ i will go

[verse 4]
an’ i’ll gang tae the tanner, an’ i’ll gaer him mak’ a desh
and in it ma ha three ha’pence, for i canna will be less
[chorus]
tae the beggin’ i will go, will go
tae the beggin’ i will go

[verse 5]
and when that i begin my trade, i’ll let me beard grow strang
nor pare my nails this year or day, for the beggars wear them lang

[chorus]
tae the beggin’ i will go, will go
tae the beggin’ i will go

[verse 6]
an’ i will seek my lodgin’, before that it grows dark
when each good man is getting’ hame, and a new hame fray his work

[verse 7]
if beggin’ be as good as trade, an’ as i hope it may
it’s time that i was oot o’ here, an’ haudin doon the brae

[chorus]

for three score or more on this little isle of green
up from the leffey, down to the zoo, and i go by the name of ol’ johnny dhu

[chorus]

tae the beggin’ i will go

[verse 8]
of all the trades that i do ken, well the beggin’ is the best
for when a beggar’s weary he can aye sit down and rest

[chorus]
tae the beggin’ i will go, will go
tae the beggin’ i will go

tae the beggin’ i will go, will go
tae the beggin’ i will go
