Raggle Taggle Gypsy Lyrics

There were three old gypsies came to our hall door.
They came brave and boldly-o,
One sang high and the other sang low,
And the lady sang the Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o.

It was upstairs downstairs the lady went,
Put on her suit of leather-o.
It was the cry all around the door,
She's away with the Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o.&

It was late that night that the lord came in,
Inquiring for his lady-o.
The servant girls they replied to him all,
She's away with the Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o.

Oh saddle for me, me milk white steed.
Me big horse is not speedy-o.
I will ride and I'll seek me bride,
She's away with the Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o.

Oh 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 lady-o.

Why did you leave your house and your land? Why did you leave your money-o?
Why did you leave your only wedded lord?,
All fer the Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o?

Yerra, what do I care for me house and me land?
What do I care for money-o?
Yerra what do I care for my only wedded lord?
I'm away with the Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o.

Well it was there last night in a goose-feather bed
With blankets drawn so comely-o.
Tonight you'll lie in a wide-open field
In the arms of a Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o.

Yerra, 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.

Oh for you rode east when I rode west.
You rode high and I rode low.
I'd rather have a kiss of the yellow Gypsy's lips
Than all of the captured money-o.
