Текст песни: The Jolly Beggar/The Man In Black/ + перевод

There was a jolly beggar and a-beggin he had been,

wi' his foll and his doll and his dandy-o

He’d left his winter quarters in a house in Aberdeen,

wi’is teer-a-noora neer-a-noora nandy-o.

He was seekn' lodgin’s on a Saturday for free,

wi' his foll and his doll and his dandy-o

tryin' to get a house there, all for charity,

wi’is teer-a-noora neer-a-noora nandy-o.

The farmer and his good wife had ta’en the stranger in,

wi' his foll and his doll and his dandy-o

they began to crack 'til the night was growin' dim,

wi’is teer-a-noora neer-a-noora nandy-o.

He would nae sleep into barn, nor yet into the bier,

wi' his foll and his doll and his dandy-o

but he would sleep intae the hall afore the kitchen fire,

wi’is teer-a-noora neer-a-noora nandy-o.

The farmer’s daughter Jean, come down to by the door

wi' his foll and his doll and his dandy-o

and there she spied the beggar lyin' naked on the floor.

wi’is teer-a-noora neer-a-noora nandy-o.

The beggar’s ta’en her in his hands, and tae the bedroom ran,

wi' his foll and his doll and his dandy-o

Be easy wi' me now, or you’ll waken our good man,

wi’is teer-a-noora neer-a-noora nandy-o.

The beggar was a cunnin' loon, and ne’er a word he spak,

wi' his foll and his doll and his dandy-o

Tounge was wet as ever and he began to crack,

wi’is teer-a-noora neer-a-noora nandy-o.

The farmer and his good wife, come down next mornin' e’en,

wi' his foll and his doll and his dandy-o

the beggar was awa, and he’d ta’en their daugther Jean,

wi’is teer-a-noora neer-a-noora nandy-o.

Seven years passed, seven years and twa

wi' his foll and his doll and his dandy-o

Jeana and the beggar man were comin' down the wa

wi’is teer-a-noora neer-a-noora nandy-o.

And Jean was dressed in satins, and then the selksie bride

wi' his foll and his doll and his dandy-o

and he wasna beggar (Unknown) king’s knights

wi’is teer-a-noora neer-a-noora nandy-o.
