There were three old gypsies came to our house door They came brave and boldly-o The 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 with the raggle taggle gypsy-o It was late that night that the lord came in Inquiring for his lady-o And the servant girl she says to the lord She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o Well saddle for me my milk white steed My big horse is not speedy-o I will ride, I will seek my bride She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o 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 Tell me how could you leave your goose feather bed Your blankets strewn so comely-o? How could you leave your newly wedded lord All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o? Well what do I care for my goose feather bed With all my blankets strewn comely-o? Tonight I lie in a wide open field In the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-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 wedded lord All for that raggle taggle gypsy-o? Well what do I care for my house and my land? And what do I care for money-o? I'd rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
