Raggle Taggle Gypsy/Tabhair Dom Do Lamh |
There were three auld 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 it was the cry all around her 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’s reply to him was; |
«She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o» |
«Then saddle for me my milk-white steed |
Me big horse is not speedy-o |
And I will ride and I’ll seek me bride |
She’s away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o» |
He rode east and he rode west |
He rode north and south also |
And when he rode to the wide open field |
It was there that he spied his lady-o |
«Arra, 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 for the raggle taggle gypsy-o?» |
«Yerra what do I care for me house and me land? |
What do I care for money-o? |
What do I care for me only wedded lord? |
I’m away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o» |
«It was there last night you’d a goose feather bed |
Blankets drawn so comely-o |
But tonight you lie in a wide open field |
In the arms of the raggle taggle gypsy-o» |
«Yerra, what do I care for me goose feather bed? |
Yerra, what do I care for blankets-o? |
What do I care for me only wedded lord? |
I’m away with the 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 the cash and money-o» |
