Lyrics
Uploaded by86_15635588878_1671185229650
Ah, there were three old gypsies came to our hall door
They came brave and boldly, oh
And this one sang high and the other sang low
And the lady sang the raggle-taggle gypsy, oh
It was upstairs, downstairs the lady went
Put on her suit of leather, oh
And there twas the cry all around our door
She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy, oh
It was late that night, oh, the Lord came in
Inquiring for his lady, oh
And the servant girl's reply to him was
She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy, oh
Oh, then saddle for me, me milk-white speed
Me big horse is not speedy, oh
And I will ride and I'll seek me bride
She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy, oh
Oh, then he rode east and he rode west
He rode north and south also
But when he rode to the white
Up in field it was there that he spied his lady, oh
Oh, why do you leave your house and your land?
Why do you leave your money, oh?
Why do you leave your honey with the Lord?
Oh, for the raggle-taggle gypsy, oh
Oh, what do I care for my house and my land?
What do I care for money, oh?
Oh, what do I care for my honey with the Lord?
I'm away with the raggle-taggle gypsy, oh
It was there last night you had a goose feather bed
With blankets drawn so calmly, oh
But tonight you lie in a wide-open field
In the arms of the raggle-taggle gypsy, oh
Yeah, what do I care for me goose feather bed?
Yeah, what do I care for blankets, oh?
Yeah, what do I care for me honey with the Lord?
I'm away with the raggle-taggle gypsy, oh
Oh, for you rode east when I rode west
You rode high
When I rode low
I'd rather have a kiss at the yellow gypsy's lips
Than a lot of cash it has bought me, oh
Can we open the door soon?
What if you didn't shake?
What if you couldn't be glad, oh?
You shouldn't have sore noses
And if you don't stopcast me
Now I'm enemies with you
But I'll swear from your mouth
Let your lips be not einges
I'll kiss you more than you'll say
And the Rockefeller aussi
Did I say it right when I said he loves me, in my mouth?
Should I be sure?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
