| Raggle Taggle Gypsy There were three young gypsies came to our hall door, Begging brave and boldly, O! The one sang high and the other sang low, And the lady sang the raggle taggle gypsy, O! So upstairs and downstairs the lady went. Put on her suit of leather, O! It was the song of the gypsies at the door, She ran away with the raggle taggle gypy, O! Late that night, the lord came home, Inquiring of his lady, O! The servant girls replied to him all, She ran away with the raggle taggle gypy, O! So he rode east and he rode west, He rode north and south also, But when he came to a wide open field It was there that he spied his lady, O! "Why do you leave your house and your land? Why do you leave your lord, also? Tonight you lie with your back upon the ground, In the arms of the raggle taggle gypsy, O!" "What care I for my house and my land? What care I for my lord, also? I'd rather have a kiss from the lovely gypsy's lips, Than all of your gold and your money, O!" There were three young gypsies came to our hall door, Begging brave and boldly, O! The one sang high and the other sang low, And the lady sang the raggle taggle gypsy, O! |
