The Waterboys - Raggle Taggle Gypsy lyrics

Your rating:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 There were three old gypsies came to our house door
 They came brave and boldy-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 from around the door
 She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o

 It was late that night when the lord came in
 Inquiring for his lady-o
 And the servant girl she says to the lord
 "She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o"

 "Well, saddle for me my milk-white steed
 My big horse is not speedy-o
 And I will ride till I seek my bride
 She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o"

 Well, he rode east, and he rode west,
 He rode north and south also
 Until at last he came to a wide-open field
 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
 How could you leave your newly-wedded lord,
 All for a raggle-taggle gypsy-o?"

 "Well, what care I for my goose-feather bed,
 For my blankets strewn so comely-o?
 Tonight I lie in a wide-open field
 In the arms of a raggle-taggle gypsy-o"

 "Tell me, 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,
 And what care I for my money-o?
 I'd rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips,
 I'm away with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o
