Raggle Taggle Gypsy Lyrics - So Far So Good: Best Of The Irish Descendants - The Irish Descendants

There were three old gypsies came to our hall door 

They came brave and bold-ee-oh 

And there's one sang high and the other sang low 

And the lady sang the Raggle Taggle gypsie-oh 

It was upstairs and downstairs the Lady went 

Put on her suit of leather-oh 

It was the cry all around the door 

She's away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsie-oh 

It was late that night when the Lord came in 

inquiring for his Lady-oh 

The servant girl she replied to the Lord 

She's away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsie-oh 

Oh then saddle for me my milk-white steed 

My big horse is not speedy-oh 

Tonight I'll ride to the wide open field 

and it's there that I'll spy my Lady-oh 

So he rode east. He rode west 

He rode North and south also 

It was when he rode to the wide open field 

it was there that he spied his Lady-oh 

Oh why did you leave your house and your land 

Why did you leave your money-oh 

And why did you leave your only wedded Lord 

To be off with the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-oh 

What do I care for me house and me land 

What do I care for money-oh 

And what do I care for me only wedded Lord 

I'm away with the Raggle Taggle Gyspy-oh 

Last night you slept in a goose-feather bed 

The blankets drawn so comely-oh 

Tonight you'll lie in the wide open field 

In the arms of the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-oh 

What do I care for a goose-feather bed 

What do I care for blankets-oh 

What do I care for me only wedded Lord 

I'm away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-oh 

So he rode east, she rode west 

He rode high and I rode low 

I'd rather have a kiss of a yello Gypsy's lips 

Than all of your cash and your money-oh 

There were three old gypsies came to our hall door 

They came brave and bold-ee-oh 

And there's one sang high and the other sang low 

And the lady sang the Raggle Taggle gypsie-oh
