There were three old gypsies came to our house doorthey came brave and boldly-oAnd one sang high and the other sang lowand the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-oIt was upstairs downstairs the lady wentput on her suit of leather-oAnd there was a cry from around the doorshe's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-oIt was late that night when the Lord came inenquiring for his lady-oAnd 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-oAnd I will ride till I seek my brideshe's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o"Now he rode East and he rode Westhe rode North and South alsoUntil he came to a wide open fieldit was there that he spied his lady-o"How could you leave your goose feather bedSongtexteyour blankets strewn so comely-o?And how could you leave your newly wedded Lordall for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?""What care I for my goose feather bedmy blankets strewn so comely-o?Tonight I lie in a wide open fieldin 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 Lordall 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 lipsI'm away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o!"
