Three old gypsies came to our hall door,
They came brave and boldly ooo!
One sang high, the other sang low,
The lady sang a raggle taggle gypsy ooo!
Upstairs downstairs the lady went,
Put on her suit of leather ooo!
It was a cry all around her door,
She's away with a raggle taggle gypsy ooo!
It was late that night when the lord came in,
Enquiring for his lady ooo,
It was a cry all around the door,
She's away with a raggle taggle gypsy ooo!
Saddle for me my milk white stead,
My big horse is not speedy ooo!
And I will ride and seek my bride,
She's away with a raggle taggle gypsy oo!
He rode north and he rode south,
He rode east and west also,
When he rode to the wide open field,
It was there that he spied his lady ooo!
Yarra, why do you leave your house and your land,
Why do you leave your only wedded lord,
It was there last night you'd a goose feather bed,
And blankets drawn so comely oo!
She said yarra, what do I care for my house and my land,
What do I care for my only wedded lord,
Tonight I lay in a wide open field,
In the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy oooo!
What do I care for my blankets ooh ooh so comely oo!
She said yarra what do I care for my house and my land,
What do I care for money ooo!
I'd rather have a kiss from a yellow gypsy' lips
Than all the fame and money ooo!
