1) 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 gyp- sy -o

2) It was upstairs downstairs the lady went


Put on her suit of leather-o


And there was a cry from a- round the door


She’s away wi’ the raggle taggle gyp- sy- o

3) 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

4) 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

5) 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

6) 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?

7) 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

8) 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?

9) 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!
