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
(Well it was there last night you'd a goosefeather bed With blankets drawn so comely o Tonight you'll lie in a wide open field In the arms of your raggle-taggle gypsy o)
(What do I care for a goose-feather bed With blankets drawn so comely o? Tonight i'll lie in a wide open field In the arms of me 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
