The Raggle Taggle Gypsy
(traditional)
There were three old gypsies came to our hall door They came brave and boldly-o And one sang high and the other sang low And the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o
It was upstairs downstairs the lady went Put on her suit of leather-o And there was a cry from around the door She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o
It was late that night when the lord came in Enquiring for his lady-o And the servant girl she said to the lord 'she's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o'
'then saddle for me my milk white steed - my big horse is not speedy-o And i will ride till i seek my bride She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o'
Now he rode east and he rode west He rode north and south also Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Until he came to a wide open plain It was there that he spied his lady-o
'how could you leave your goose feather bed Your blankeys strewn so comely-o? And how could you leave your newly wedded lord All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?'
'what care i for my goose feather bed Wi' blankets strewn so comely-o? Tonight i lie in a wide open field In the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o'
'how could you leave your house and your land? How could you leave your money-o? How could you leave your only wedded lord All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?'
'what care i for my house and my land? What care i for my money-o? I'd rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips I'm away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o!'
