raggle taggle gypsy - tabhair dom do lamh - planxty lyrics

Loading...

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”
