Great Big Sea - Текст песни Jakey's Gin
Well I am a little beggarman, a begging I have been
 For three score years in the little isle of green
 All over the Liffey and down to Segue
 I'm known by the name of auld Johnny Dhu
 Of all the trades a going, begging is the best
 When a man gets tired he can sit down and rest
 Sing for his supper when there's nothing left to do
 When I come around the corner with me old rigadoo
 I went to a barn, went down to Currabawn
 Got down on the floor and I slept till the dawn
 Holes in the roof and the rain seeping thru
 Me toes froze together in me little beggar shoes
 Buy a pair of leggings and a collar and a tie
 A nice old lady you will find by and by
 Buy a pair of leggings and I'll color them blue
 For a foxy old lady I'll make her tooGreat Big Sea - Jakey's Gin - http://ru.motolyrics.com/great-big-sea/jakeys-gin-lyrics.html
 I met a little flaxen haired girl one day
 Good morning little flaxen haired girl, I did say
 Good morning little beggarman how do you do
 With your bags and your rags and your auld rigadoo
 Who should I waken but the woman of the house
 With her white spotted apron and her calico blouse
 She began to frighten so I said boo
 Sure, don't be afraid, it's only Johnny Dhu
 Over the road with me pack on me back
 Over all the fields with me big heavy sack
 Over the hills with the moon peeking through
 Singing, skin a ma rink a doodle on me auld rigadoo
 I must be going to bed, it's getting late at night
 The fire is all out, so out goes the light
 Now you've heard the story of the auld rigadoo
 So good night and God be with you, this is auld Johnny Dhu
