There were three old gypsies came to our hall door

They came brave and boldly-o

One sang high and the other sang low

And the Lady sang the raggle taggle gypsy-o



It was upstairs and downstairs the lady went

Put on her suit of leather-o

T'was a cry all around the door

She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o



It was late at night when the lord came in

Enquiring for his lady-o

The servant girl replied to her lord

She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o



Oh then saddle for me and my milk white steed

My big horse is not speedy-o

I will ride and I'll seek my bride

She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o



Then he rode east and he rode west

He rode north and south also

But when he went to the open fields

It was there that he spied his lady-o
