raggle taggle gypsy

there were three gypsies coming to my hall door

down the stairs ran his lady-o

one sang high and the other sang low

and the other sang a bonny

bonny

biscayo

it was up the stairs that the lady went

put on her silk and leather-o

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

enquiring for his lady-o

the servants said on every hand

she's away with the raggle-taggle- gypsy-o

o saddle for me my milk white steed

to go fetch me my bonny-o

that i may go and seek my bride

who's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o

o he rode east and he rode west

he rode through-the copses-o

until he came to a wide open field

it was there that he spied his lady-o

o what made you leave your house and your land

what made you leave your money-o

what made you leave your new-wedded lord

to be off with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o

o what do i care for my house and my land

what do i care i for money-o

what do i care for my new-wedded lord

i'm off with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o
