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
