Begging Song Lyrics

Begging Song lyrics

Of all the trades in England the beggin' is the best 
For when a beggar's tired, he can lay him down and rest 

And a-beggin' I will go-o-o 
And a-beggin' I will go 

I got on the train in Carlisle they kicked me out in Crewe 
I slept on every paving-stone from there to Waterloo 

I got breakfast off the Embankment I got my lunch and tea 
And only the finest cardboard made a home that was fit for me 

We sit on the stair at Leicester Square from 7 o'clock till ten 
Then round the back of the Connaught House for dinner from out of a bin
