I wish I were in Dublin or some other seaport town
I`d set my foot on a steamboat and sail the ocean `round
Sailing `round the ocean, sailing `round the sea
I think of handsome Molly wherever she may be
I am a beggarman and a beggin` I have been
For three score or more on this lil` isle of green
I`m known from the Liffy on down to Segu
And I`m known by the name of Little Johnny Doo
Of all the trades a-goin` sure a-beggin` is the best
When a man gets tired he can lay his head to rest
He can beg for his supper when there`s nothing else to do
Or go sit `round the corner in his ol` rigadoo
We slept one night in a barn in Clairebon
We went naked all night and slept until the dawn
Holes in the roof and the rain a-pourin` through
And the cats and the rats they were a-playin peek-a-boo
Who should awaken but the woman of the house
In a white spotted apron and a calico blouse
She began to frighten and I said `Boo!`
`Don`t be afraid ma`am, it`s only Johnny Doo!`
Over the fields with a pack on my back
Over the hills with a creak in me sack
Holes in my shoes and my toes peekin` through
Singing `Shinkle and a wrinkle it`s only Johnny Doo!`
Well, it`s getting late at night and it`s time to go to bed
And the fire`s all out and whoops goes the light
Now you know the story of the old rigadoo
So good night and God be with you says Little Johnny Doo Send " Irish Medley" Ringtone to your Cell
