The Raggle Taggle Gypsy (Rapalje cover)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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"
