How many songs are there in Irish/Scottish/English folk about beggar men or gypsies seducing farmer's daughters (and they always seem to find the cosy spot near the fire to sleep in). They often turn out to be in gentlemen in disguise too (but not in this case, alas). Thanks for uploading.
Ah I see you have rated it 5 stars this time;) Great comment, I think beggar men are very intriguing to song writers because they often seduce farmer's daughters and mostly sleep near the fire haha.

There's another version of "The Beggar Man" on the LP "Now" - think, that's the one sierragti means ;)
Best one, ever, in my opinion at least.^^ Just love it!
