There were three young gypsies come to our hall door, They came brave and boldly-o And one sang high and the other sang low, And the other sang the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-o
Well 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, Enquiring for his Lady-o And the servant girl she said to the Lord, She's away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-o
Then saddle for me my milk-white steed, My big horse is not speedy-o, Tonight I'll ride, to seek my bride, She's away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-o
Well he rode east, and he rode west, He rode north and south also, Until he came to a wide open plane, That's where 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 newly-wedded Lord, All for the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-o?
Well what care I for my house and my land? What do I care for money-o? I'd rather have a kiss from a yellow gypsy's lips, I'm away with the 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 newly-wedded Lord, All for the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-o?
Well what care I for my house and my land? What do I care for money-o? Tonight I'll lie in a wide open field, In the arms of my Raggle Taggle Gypsy-o
