Lyrics:

THE RAGGLE TAGGLE GYPSY (trad.)

There were three old gypsies came to our house door
They came brave and boldy 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
And 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
And the servant girl she said to the Lord
She`s away with the raggle taggle gypsy o

Saddle for me my milk white steed
The big horse is not speedy o
And I will I ride till I seak 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 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 blankets 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
With 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 with the raggle taggle gypsy o
