The Beggar's Ball
(Rich Mullins)
I took my baby to the Beggar's ball,
Now I took my baby to the Beggar's ball
You know I took my baby to the Beggar's ball
And this creature from the woods played a crazy waltz,
Down in the Beggar's ball.
Well he said Mephisto was his name
Ya know he said Mephisto was his name
Ya know he said Mephisto was his name
And he played his fiddle 'til we went insane
Down in the Beggar's ball.
And we were down in the Beggar's ball.
We were down in the Beggar's ball.
Well he asked my girl if she would dance
Ya know he asked my girl if she would dance
Ya know he asked my girl if she would dance
He said "love me baby like you love your man"
Down in the Beggar's ball.
Well my baby took a step away from him
Ya know my baby took a step away from him
Ya know my baby took a step away from him
She said "Best you stick to your violin"
Down in the Beggar's ball.
And we were down in the Beggar's ball.
We were down in the Beggar's ball.
Well my baby's going to me all the way to Heaven
Ya know my baby's going to me all the way to Heaven
Ya know my baby's going to me all the way to Heaven
It's good to have a woman that uses discretion.
Down in the Beggar's ball.
And we were down in the Beggar's ball.
We were down in the Beggar's ball.
