Raggle Taggle Gypsy

There were three young gypsies came to our hall door

They came brave and boldly o

And there's one sang high and the other sang low

And the lady's seen the raggle-taggle gypsy o

It was upstairs and downstairs the lady went

Put on her suit of leather o

It was the cry all around her door

She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy o

It was late last night that the lord came in

Inquiring for his a-lady o

The serving girls replied to him all

She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy o

O then saddle for me me milk-white steed

Me big horse is not speedy o

I will ride and I'll seek my bride

She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy o

O then he rode east and he rode west

He rode north and south also

But when he rode to the wide open field

It was there that he spied his a-lady o

O then why do you leave your house and your land?

Why do you leave you money o?

And why do you leave your only only-wedded lord

All for a raggle-taggle gypsy o?

What do I care for me house and me land?

What do I care for money o?

And what do I care for me only-wedded lord?

I'm away with the raggle-taggle gypsy o

Often you rode east when I rode west

You rode high when I rode low

I'd rather have a kiss of the yellow gypsy's lips

Than all of the cashier's money o

I'd rather have a kiss

I'd rather have a kiss of the yellow gypsy's lips

Than all of the cashier's money o
