Lyrics

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"
