You do see quite a bit of good talent today but the earlier groups (Planxty, the Corries, the Dubliners, Silly Wizard, to mention a few) really did set the bar for all that came after. The fact that the best music the world has to offer is concentrated Ireland and Scotland is certainly worth thinking about.

***** Most instances of this song online do not include the short verse you are talking about, but it says: She lay as still as any mouse, as if she had been dead The beggar he jumped in with her and stole her maidenhead chorus "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 are quite undone" Stealing her maidenhead refers to taking her virginity (and her heart).

You mean, Archie Fisher (amazing songwriter/singer!) took the tune and chorus and wrote his own song. "The Jolly Beggar" is a lot older. Heck, even Byron stole the chorus and turned it into a poem -- that's how old the song is! But yes, a clever guess by Archie Fisher, because the chorus does sound like a smuggling or bandit song, or maybe a general womanizing and drinking song. My guess is that it was originally a song about bachelors getting married and staying home... but really, it's such a great chorus that it could be anything.
