Lyrics

[00:07.27] There were three old gypsies
[00:08.87] Came to our house door
[00:10.13] They came brave and boldly-o
[00:12.20] The one sang high
[00:13.31] And the other sang low
[00:14.45] And the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o
[00:19.19] It was upstairs downstairs the lady went
[00:21.37] Put on her suit of leather-o
[00:23.53] And there was a cry from around the door
[00:25.67] She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
[00:30.44] It was late that night
[00:31.55] That the lord came in
[00:32.89] Inquiring for his lady-o
[00:34.84] And the servant girl
[00:36.18] She says to the lord
[00:37.37] She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
[00:41.14] Well saddle for me my milk white steed
[00:43.12] My big horse is not speedy-o
[00:45.42] I will ride I will seek my bride
[00:47.68] She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
[01:08.13] He rode east and he rode west
[01:10.48] He rode north and south also
[01:12.81] Until he came to a wide open field
[01:14.87] It was there that he spied his lady-o
[01:35.14] Tell me how could you
[01:36.29] Leave your goose feather bed
[01:37.70] Your blankets strewn so comely-o
[01:39.76] How could you leave your newly wedded lord
[01:42.00] All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o
[01:45.82] Well what do I care for
[01:46.83] My goose feather bed
[01:48.26] With all my blankets strewn comely-o
[01:50.17] Tonight I lie in a wide open field
[01:52.29] In the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o
[01:56.54] Tell me how could you
[01:58.14] Leave your house and your land
[01:59.61] How could you leave your money-o
[02:01.47] How could you leave your only wedded lord
[02:03.77] All for that raggle taggle gypsy-o
[02:07.61] Well what do I care for
[02:08.72] My house and my land
[02:10.40] And what do I care for money-o
[02:11.78] I'd rather have a kiss from
[02:13.42] The yellow gypsy's lips
[02:14.65] I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
[02:18.95] I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
