The Raggle Taggle Gipsy Songtext
von Carlos Núñez

There was three old gyspies came to our house door
They came brave an boldly
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 suits of leather-o
And ther came 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-with 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 he came to a wide-open field
It was there that he spied his lady-o
"Tell me, how could you leave your house and your land,
How could you leave you 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 gipsy-o! "
"How could you you leave your goose-feather bed,
You blankets strewn so comely-o
How could you leave your newly-wedded lord,
All for a raggle-taggle gypsy-o?"
"Well, what car I for my goose-feather bed,
For my blankets strewn so comely-o?
Tonights I lie in a wide-open field
In the arms of raggle-taggle gypsy-o"
