Lyrics
How could you leave your house and your land, and there was a cry from around the door
And there was a cry from around the door, tonight i lie in a wide open field
your blankeys strewn so comely-o
It was there that he spied his lady-o, tonight i lie in a wide open field
They came brave and boldly-o, put on her suit of leather-o
how could you leave your goose feather bed
Enquiring for his lady-o, then saddle for me my milk white steed, and the servant girl she said to the lord
And the servant girl she said to the lord, and the servant girl she said to the lord, what care i for my money-o
My big horse is not speedy-o, now he rode east and he rode west, what care i for my house and my land
She s away wi the raggle taggle gypsy-o, in the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o
i d rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy s lips
How could you leave your goose feather bed, what care i for my house and my land, there were three old gypsies came to our hall door
he rode north and south also
there were three old gypsies came to our hall door
They came brave and boldly-o, enquiring for his lady-o
Tonight i lie in a wide open field, and i will ride till i seek my bride, how could you leave your goose feather bed
And the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o, what care i for my money-o
It was upstairs downstairs the lady went, what care i for my house and my land, in the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o
And the servant girl she said to the lord, there were three old gypsies came to our hall door, it was late that night when the lord came in
Your blankeys strewn so comely-o, she s away wi the raggle taggle gypsy-o Rapalje, there were three old gypsies came to our hall door
Your blankeys strewn so comely-o, they came brave and boldly-o
I d rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy s lips, all for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?, there were three old gypsies came to our hall door
What care i for my money-o, and the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o, in the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o
it was there that he spied his lady-o
what care i for my goose feather bed
wi blankets strewn so comely-o
She s away wi the raggle taggle gypsy-o, all for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?, she s away wi the raggle taggle gypsy-o
I m away wi the raggle taggle gypsy-o, she s away wi the raggle taggle gypsy-o Rapalje, he rode north and south also
all for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?
What care i for my house and my land, it was upstairs downstairs the lady went, and there was a cry from around the door
put on her suit of leather-o
how could you leave your goose feather bed
Put on her suit of leather-o, how could you leave your house and your land, until he came to a wide open plain
And there was a cry from around the door, and the servant girl she said to the lord Gypsy, there were three old gypsies came to our hall door
And there was a cry from around the door, what care i for my house and my land, in the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o
then saddle for me my milk white steed
It was upstairs downstairs the lady went, how could you leave your money-o
how could you leave your only wedded lord
Enquiring for his lady-o, tonight i lie in a wide open field, put on her suit of leather-o
I d rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy s lips, until he came to a wide open plain, tonight i lie in a wide open field
There were three old gypsies came to our hall door, and one sang high and the other sang low
all for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?
She s away wi the raggle taggle gypsy-o, what care i for my house and my land
And the servant girl she said to the lord, put on her suit of leather-o, and i will ride till i seek my bride
She s away wi the raggle taggle gypsy-o, in the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o
How could you leave your only wedded lord, what care i for my money-o
he rode north and south also
