Richard Thompson - The Little Beggar Girl Lyrics
I'm just a little beggar girl and Sally is my nameYou can call me a skiver and I'll call you the sameYou can show me you're sorry if you think it's a shameThat I'm only a poor little beggar girlYes I'm only a poor little beggar girlYou can show me you're sorry if you think it's a shameThat I'm only a poor little beggar girlI'll dance with my peg leg a-wiggling at the kneeI'll play on the accordion my father gave to meFor it's well worth it all to please a gent such as theeFor I'm only a poor little beggar girlYes I'm only a poor little beggar girlAnd it's well worth it all to please a gent such as theeFor I'm only a poor little beggar girlI've been down to London, I've been up to CreweI travel far and wide to do the work that I do'Cause I love taking money off a snob like youFor I'm only a poor little beggar girlYes I'm only a poor little beggar girlAnd I love taking money off a snob like youFor I'm only a poor little beggar girlOh the poor they will be rich and the rich they will be poorThat's according to Saul when he wrote down the lawAnd I'd much rather be rich after than beforeFor I'm only a poor little beggar girlYes I'm only a poor little beggar girlAnd I'd much rather be rich after than beforeFor I'm only a poor little beggar girlIf the words of my song do your conscience alarmJust remember generosity is like a lucky charmIf you give me your money, it'll do you no harmFor I'm only a poor little beggar girlYes I'm only a poor little beggar girlIf you give me your money, it'll do you no harmFor I'm only a poor little beggar girl
