The Raggle Taggle Gypsy (Live)
There was three old gypsies came to our hall door
They came brave and boldly-o
And 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 frae 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!"
"Then saddle for me my big white horse
My brown 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 South in an old string vest
Until he came to a wide open plain
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?
And how could you leave your only wedded Lord
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"
"Well what care I for my goose-feather bed
Wi' blankets strewn so comely-o?
Tonight I lie in a wide open field
In the arm of a raggle taggle gypsy-o!"
"Tell me how could you leave your house and your land?
How could you leave your money-o?
And 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 hae a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips
I'm away wi' the 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?"
"Well what care I for my house and my land?
What care I for my money-o?
I'd rather hae a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips
I'm away wi' the 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?"
"Yeah what care I for my house and my land?
What care I for my money-o?
Tonight I lie in a wide open field
In the arm of a raggle taggle gypsy-o!"
She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o!
They came brave and boldly-o
And 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 frae 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!"
"Then saddle for me my big white horse
My brown 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 South in an old string vest
Until he came to a wide open plain
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?
And how could you leave your only wedded Lord
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"
"Well what care I for my goose-feather bed
Wi' blankets strewn so comely-o?
Tonight I lie in a wide open field
In the arm of a raggle taggle gypsy-o!"
"Tell me how could you leave your house and your land?
How could you leave your money-o?
And 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 hae a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips
I'm away wi' the 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?"
"Well what care I for my house and my land?
What care I for my money-o?

I'm away wi' the 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?"
"Yeah what care I for my house and my land?
What care I for my money-o?
Tonight I lie in a wide open field
In the arm of a raggle taggle gypsy-o!"
She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o!
