Raggle Taggle Gypsy
(traditional)
There were three old gypsies came to our hall door
They came brave and boldly-o
And the 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
There was a cry from around the door
She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
It was late that night when the lord came in
Inquiring for his lady-o
"Where is my bride?" says the servant girl:
"She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o"
"Saddle for me my milk white steed
My big horse is not speedy-o
I will ride till I seek my bride
She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o"
Now he rode east, and he rode west
He rode north and south also
Until at last he came to a wide open field
It was there that he spied his lady-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
And what care I for my money-o?
I'd rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips
I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o"
"Tonight you slept in a goosefeather bed
Your blankets strewn so comely-o
How could you leave your newly wedded lord
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o"
"What care I for my goosefeather bed
With blankets strewn so comely-o
Tonight I lay in a wide-open field
In the arms of the raggle taggle gypsy-o"
