Lyrics
she s away wi the raggle taggle gypsy-o
There were three old gypsies came to our hall door, how could you leave your money-o
it was late that night when the lord came in
Put on her suit of leather-o, and how could you leave your newly wedded lord Raggle, tonight i lie in a wide open field
What care i for my goose feather bed, i d rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy s lips, and the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o
what care i for my money-o
it was there that he spied his lady-o
It was late that night when the lord came in, now he rode east and he rode west, she s away wi the raggle taggle gypsy-o
There were three old gypsies came to our hall door, it was there that he spied his lady-o
it was there that he spied his lady-o
your blankeys strewn so comely-o
How could you leave your goose feather bed, it was late that night when the lord came in
Until he came to a wide open plain, then saddle for me my milk white steed
enquiring for his lady-o
Then saddle for me my milk white steed, and one sang high and the other sang low, all for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?, he rode north and south also
how could you leave your goose feather bed
now he rode east and he rode west
tonight i lie in a wide open field
Then saddle for me my milk white steed, enquiring for his lady-o Rapalje, he rode north and south also
it was late that night when the lord came in
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?, she s away wi the raggle taggle gypsy-o
And there was a cry from around the door, what care i for my money-o
I d rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy s lips, your blankeys strewn so comely-o, in the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o
all for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?
Until he came to a wide open plain, i d rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy s lips
and i will ride till i seek my bride
and how could you leave your newly wedded lord
She s away wi the raggle taggle gypsy-o, he rode north and south also
it was upstairs downstairs the lady went
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?, tonight i lie in a wide open field
And how could you leave your newly wedded lord, how could you leave your money-o
how could you leave your only wedded lord
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?, and there was a cry from around the door
It was there that he spied his lady-o, how could you leave your only wedded lord, and there was a cry from around the door
then saddle for me my milk white steed
how could you leave your money-o
He rode north and south also, what care i for my money-o
and how could you leave your newly wedded lord
put on her suit of leather-o
they came brave and boldly-o
