The Jolly Beggarman.

There was a jolly beggarman
Came tripping o'er the plain
He came unto a farmer's door
A lodging for to gain
The farmer's daughter she came down
And viewed him cheek and chin
She says "He is a handsome man
I pray you take him in"

We'll go no more a roving
A roving in the night
We'll go no more a roving
Let the moon shine so bright
We'll go no more a roving

He would not lie within the barn
Nor yet within the byre
But he would in the corner lie
Down by the kitchen fire
O then the beggar's bed was made
Of good clean sheets and hay
And down beside the kitchen fire
The jolly beggar lay

We'll go no more a roving
A roving in the night
We'll go no more a roving
Let the moon shine so bright
We'll go no more a roving

The farmer's daughter she got up
To bolt the kitchen door
And there she saw the beggar
Standing naked on the floor
He took the daughter in his arms
And to the bed he ran
Kind sir, she says, be easy now
You'll waken our goodman

We'll go no more a roving
A roving in the night
We'll go no more a roving
Let the moon shine so bright
We'll go no more a roving

Now you are no beggar
You are some gentleman
For you have stolen my maidenhead
And I am quite undone
I am no lord, I am no squire
Of beggars I be one
And beggars they be robbers all
So you're quite undone

We'll go no more a roving
A roving in the night
We'll go no more a roving
Let the moon shine so bright
We'll go no more a roving.

Morning :-D :-D

HEAVY frost here on the Kent coast. Sun is shining, but another day indoors I think. Too dangerous to venture out with a walking stick!

<3 <3

Bumbug is that really you, I did not recognise you :-D :-D ;-)

Dermot :-D :-D :-D :-D

Good morning Choccy, no sunshine here today, but lots of frost, it bloomin freezin :-0 :-0......

Stay in and stay warm <3 <3

'Tis I in a different persona until next year.

This year was just a practice ;-) ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D

Pardon my manners :-(

Hello Mersey, Dermot and Choccy :-D :-D :-D

Humbug we luvsya just the way you are :-D :-D ;-) <3

I will Mersey <3

Morning Allan - the big smiles fooled me ;-)

Morning Mersey <3 Morning Dermot :-) Morning Choccy <3 Morning Bah Humbug :-) have you had a funny turn :-D

It is bitter cold again this morning in my corner of Kent, it feels even colder than it was yesterday morning, that said, the plus side is that it's dry and some sunny spells are promised later on today :-)

Wherever you are today and whatever you are planning to do do today - keep warm, stay dry, be vigilant and enjoy yourself :-)

And remember these three simple things about life - If you do not go after what you want - you will never have it ;-) If you don’t ask - the answer will always be No ;-) If you do not step forward - you’ll always be in the same place ;-)

Have A Lovely Day <3

That's me, Choccy ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D

Good morning OFITG, hope you are well and sprightly this morning :-D :-D :-D <3

Hi OFITG :-D :-D :-D

Wise words :-D :-D

Mersey the word jolly in your thread title reminds me of this poem - enjoy :-)

It's the time to be jolly - a poem by Dr Geebers

It's the time to be jolly
It's the time to have fun
It's the time to remember
Those who have none

It's the time to be happy
It's the time to feast
It's the time to share
With those who have least

It's the time to enjoy
All around the world
It's the time to help
Every boy and girl

It's the time to engage
With the love we all hold
And to spare what we have
To help those who are cold

So come on and unite
With the pennies we spare
To let everyone enjoy
The passion we all share

No matter our colour
No matter our race
Lets enjoy happiness
As we put smiles on faces

This could be the homeless
This could be the poor
This could be the disabled
Lets help them for sure

This could be our friends
Or someone we don’t know
It could happen to you
This I well know

So go on don’t be shy
And do your very best
Because we all live once
In life's real test

OFITG....I love that!! infact im going to copy and print it out.....its perfect :-D :-D <3 <3

Morning everybody :-D :-D :-D :-D <3 <3 <3 <3

And a special <3 <3 to our Birthday Boy, GP :-D :-D

A real deep frost here, but it's a lovely day :-D :-D - just having a day around the house, catching up with the washing, and finally, I hope, getting to the end of the turkey mountain :-0 :-D ;-)

Mersey <3 as well and and sprightly as I will ever be as.........

I am no spring chicken it's true,
I have to pop my teeth in to chew.
And my old knees have started to knock,
I've just got too many miles on the clock.

Morning GinN <3 trouble with clearing a pile of washing and ironing is as soon as you get rid of one pile, another one appears - from nowhere :-D
