lyrics

Ninebarrow - Let Your Back and Sides Go Bare

I would sooner be a beggar than a king
And I’ll tell you the reason why
A king cannot swagger
or walk like a beggar
Or be half as happy as I

Let your back & sides go bare me boys
Feet and your hands go cold
But give to your belly, boys
Beer enough
Whether it be new or old

Oh, I’ve a sixpence in my pocket lads
And I worked very hard for that
Oh there ain’t no Turk
that’s gonna make me work
When the beggin’ is as good as that

Sometimes we call at a nobleman’s hall
To beg for bread and beer
Sometimes we are lame
Sometimes we are blind
Sometimes too deaf to hear

Sometimes we lie like hogs in a sty
Frost and snow on the ground
Sometimes eat a crust
that’s rolled in the dust
And by thankful for what we’ve found!
