[VERSE 1]
It's of a jolly beggarman, came [C]tripping o'er the [D]plain
He [G]came unto a [C]farmer's door, a [G]lodging for to [D]gain
The [G]farmer's daughter, she came down and [C]viewed him cheek and [D]chin
She [Em]said, "He is a [C]handsome man, I [G]pray you take him [D]in"

Let the [G]moon shine out so [D]bright
We'll [G]go no more a-roving

[VERSE 2]
He would no lie within the barn, nor[C] yet within the [D]byre
But [G]he would in the [C]corner lie down, [G]by the kitchen [D]fire
Ah, [G]then the beggar's bed was made of [C]good clean sheets and [D]hay
And [Em]down beside the [C]kitchen fire, the [G]jolly beggar [D]lay

We'll [G]go no more a-roving

We'll [G]go no more a-roving

[VERSE 3]
The farmer's daughter, she got up, to [C]bolt the kitchen [D]door
And [G]there she saw the [C]beggar standing, [G]naked on the [D]floor
He [G]took the daughter in his hands and [C]to the bed he [D]ran
"Kind [Em]sir," she says, "Be [C]easy now, you'll [G]waken our good [D]man"

[CHORUS]
We'll [G]go no more a-roving
A-[Am]roving in the [D]night
We'll [G]go no more a-[C]roving

We'll [G]go no more a-roving

"Now you are no beggar, you [C]are some gentle[D]man
For [G]ye did steal my [C]maidenhead, and [G]I am quite un[D]done"

And [Em]beggars, they be [C]robbers all, so [G]you are quite un[D]done"
