The Waterboys - The Raggle Taggle Gypsy lyrics
Your rating:
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 wi' 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 said to the Lord "She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o" saddle for me my milk-white steed the brown horse is not speedy-o And I will I 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 North and South also until he came to a wide open plain It was there that he spied his lady-o "How could you leave your goose feather bed your blankets strewn so comely-o? And how could you leave your newly-wedded Lord all for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?" "What care I for my goose feather bed wi' blankets strewn so comely-o? tonight I lie in a wide open field in 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 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 have a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips I'm away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o
