Lyrics

There were three gypsies come to my door And downstairs ran this lady-o One sung high and the other sung low And the other sung bonny bonny Biscay-o Then she pulled off her silk-finished gown And put on hose of leather-o The ragged ragged rags are about her door She's gone with the raggle taggle gypsies-o It was late late night when my lord came home Enquiring for his lady-o The servants said on every hand She's gone with the raggle taggle gypsies-o Oh saddle to me my milk-white steed Go and fetch me my pony-o That I may ride and seek my bride Who's gone with the raggle taggle gypsies-o Oh he rode high and he rode low He rode through woods and copses too Until he came to an open field And there he espied his lady-o What makes you leave your home and land? What makes you leave your money-o? What makes you leave your new-wedded lord To go with the raggle taggle gypsies-o? What care I for my house and my land? What care I for my money-o? What care I for my new-wedded lord? I'm off with the raggle taggle gypsies-o Last night you slept on a goose feather bed With the sheets turned down so bravely-o And tonight you'll sleep in a cold open field Along with the raggle taggle gypsies-o What care I for a goose feather bed With the sheets turned down so bravely-o? For tonight I shall sleep in a cold open field Along with the raggle taggle gypsies-o
