Raggle Taggle Gypsy

There were three gypsies at a yellow door
Dicky, Brave and Boldy-O
One sang high, and the other sang low
And the other sang raggle-taggle gypsie-O

It was upstairs downstairs the lady went
With her suit of leather-O
And there was a cry from around the door
She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsie-O

It was late the night when the Earl came home
Enquiring for his lady-O
And the servant girl, she says to the lord
She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsie-O

So saddle for me, the milk white steed
The big horse is not speedy-O
And I shall ride till I meet my bride
Who's away with the raggle-taggle gypsie-O

Well he rode east, he rode west
He rode north and south also
Until he came to the wide open plain
And there sir he spied his lady-O

Tell me how could you leave your goose feather bed
Your blankets, shoes so comely-O?
How could you leave your own weddin' lord
All for the raggle-taggle gypsie-O?

Well wack-a-raid my goose feather bed
Blankets, shoes so comely-O
Tonight I'll lie in the wide open field
All for the raggle-taggle gypsie-O

Tell me how could you leave your house and your land
How could you leave your money-O?
How could you leave your only weddin' lord
All for the raggle-taggle gypsie-O?

Well wack-a-raid my house and my land
Wack-a-raid my money-O
I'd rather have a kiss from me other gypsy lips
Away with the raggle-taggle gypsie-O
