The Raggle Taggle Gypsy

There were three ol' gypsies, came to our hall door

They came brave and boldly-o

And one sang high as the other sang low

And the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o

Well upstairs downstairs the lady went

Put on her suit of leather-o

This was the cry all around her door

She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o

Late that night the lord came in

Enquiring for his lady-o

The servant girl she says to the lord

She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o

Now saddle for me my milk-white steed

Saddle for me my pony-o

And I will ride and I'll seek my bride

She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy -o

Up and he rode east and he rode west

He rode north and south also

Until he came to the wide open field

It was there that he spied his lady-o

Now how could you leave your goose-feathered bed

Your blankets strewn so comely-o

Tonight you'll lie in the wide-open fields

In the arms of the raggle traggle gypsy-o

Now what do I care for my goose feathered bed

Blankets strewn so comely-o

Tonight I'll sleep in the wide-open field

In the arms of the raggle taggle gypsy-o

Now how could you leave you house and land

How could you leave your money-o

How could you leave your new-wedded lord

All for the raggle taggle gypsy-o

Now what do I care for my house and land

What do I care for the money-o

What do I care for my new-wedded lord

I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
