Raggle Taggle Gypsy |
There were three old gypsies came to our hall door |
They came brave and boldly-o |
And one sang high and the other sang low |
And the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o |
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 wi' 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 wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o» |
«Then saddle for me my milk white steed |
— my big horse is not speedy-o |
And I will ride till I seek my bride |
She’s away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o» |
Now he rode East and he rode West |
He rode North and South also |
Until he came to a wide open plain |
It was there that he spied his lady-o |
«How could you leave your goose feather bed |
Your blankeys strewn so comely-o? |
And how could you leave your newly wedded Lord |
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?» |
«What care I for my goose feather bed |
Wi' blankets strewn so comely-o? |
Tonight I lie in a wide open field |
In the arms of a 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 only wedded Lord |
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?» |
«What care I for my house and my land? |
What care I for my money-o? |
I’d rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy’s lips |
I’m away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o!» |
