Lyrics
There were three old gypsies by the castle gate
Sang so brave and bonny-o
One sang high, the other sang low
In the middle was a raggle-taggle gypsy-o
It was up says down, says the lady
When put on her suit of leather-o
What's that cry from around the door?
She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o
She plucked off her high-heeled shoes
Made of Spanish leather-o
Walked down the street with her bare bare feet
Out in the wind and the weather-o
It was late that night when the lord came in
Enquiring for his lady-o
The only answer he received
She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o
Oh, Salome, my milk-white steed
The big horse is not speedy-o
I will ride until I find thee bright
In the arms of the raggle-taggle gypsy-o
He rode east and he rode west
He rode high and he rode low
'Til he came to a wide open plain
And there he spied his lady-o
Oh, don't you care for your house and your land?
Don't you care for your money-o?
Don't you care for your only wedded lord?
Gone away with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o
What do I need me house and me land?
What do I need me money-o?
What do I need me only wedded lord?
Gone away with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o
But late last night in a goose feather bed
With a blanket strong and comely-o
Tonight you'll lie in the arms of a plain
In the arms of the raggle-taggle gypsy-o
What do I need me goose feather bed?
Or the blanket strong and comely-o?
I'd rather lie in the wide open plain
In the arms of the raggle-taggle gypsy-o
For you rode east when I rode west
You rode high when I rode low
I'd rather have a kiss from the gypsy's lips
Than to have a girl any more-o
There were three old gypsies by the castle gate
Sang so brave and bonny-o
One sang high, the other sang low
In the middle was a raggle-taggle gypsy-o
