Planxty - Raggle Taggle Gypsy lyrics
Your rating:
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 downstairs the lady went, Put on her suit of leather-o. It was the cry all 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. The servant girls they replied to him all, She's away with the Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o. Oh saddle for me, me milk white steed. Me big horse is not speedy-o. I will ride and I'll seek me bride, She's away with the Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o. Oh then he rode east and he rode west. He rode north and south also, But when he rode to the wide-open field It was there that he spied his lady-o. Why did you leave your house and your land? Why did you leave your money-o? Why did you leave your only wedded lord?, All fer the Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o? Yerra, what do I care for me house and me land? What do I care for money-o? Yerra what do I care for my only wedded lord? I'm away with the Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o. Well it was there last night in a goose-feather bed With blankets drawn so comely-o. Tonight you'll lie in a wide-open field In the arms of a Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o. Yerra, what do I care for a goose-feather bed? With blankets drawn so comely-o.? Tonight I'll lie in a wide-open field In the arms of me Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o. Oh for you rode east when I rode west. You rode high and I rode low. I'd rather have a kiss of the yellow Gypsy's lips Than all of the captured money-o.
