And a begging they do go, do go, do go, and a begging they do go.

Old Charles was the leader, the Bampfylde Moore Carew,

Of that audacious, lying, tricking, filthy, drunken crew;

And a begging he did go, did go, did go, and a begging he did go.

This cunning Fox, he pray'd, and whined, and swore from door to door,

That fall'n from a good estate, his virtues kept him poor;

So a begging he did go, did go, did go, so a begging he did go.

In fact, the rogue play'd, wench'd, and drank two sinecures away,

And only begg'd to have the means to wench, and drink, and play;

So a begging he did go, did go, did go, so a begging he did go.
