raggle taggle gypsy - the chieftains lyrics

there were three old gypsies came to our house 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 there was a cry from around the door
she’s away wi’ the raggle taggle gypsy-o
it was late that night when the lord came in
enquiring for his lady-o
and the servant girl she said to the lord
“she’s away wi’ the raggle taggle gypsy-o”
“well saddle for me my milk white steed
– my big horse is not speedy-o
and i will ride till i seek my bride
she’s away wi’ the raggle taggle gypsy-o”
now he rode east and he rode west
he rode north and south also
until he came to a wide open field
it was there that he spied his lady-o
“how could you leave your goose feather bed
your blankets strewn so comely-o?
and how could you leave your newly wedded lord
all for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?”
“what care i for my goose feather bed
my blankets strewn so comely-o?
tonight i lie in a wide open field
in the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o”
“how could you leave your house and your land?
how could you leave your money-o?
how could you leave your only wedded lord
all for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?”
“what care i for my house and my land?
what care i for my money-o?
i’d rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy’s lips
i’m away wi’ the raggle taggle gypsy-o!”
