Blind Beggar Songtext
von Stick in the Wheel

Oh yes I am willing to do it said she
But first ask the father of pretty Betsy
But who is your father come tell unto me
And I will go with you your father to see


My father is every day to be seen
He is called the blind beggar of Bethnal Green
A blind beggar′s daughter, you'll not do for me
For no blind beggar′s daughter my lady shall be

Up jumps a young knight of courage and worth
Thy a blind beggar's daughter you're never the worse
Now your silks shall be lined with jewels said he
If you can but love me my charming Betsy
