Raggle taggle Gypsy - Cécile Corbel

There were three young gypsies came to the hall door

They came brave and boldly o

And there's one sang high and the other sang low

And the lady's seen the raggle-taggle gypsy o

It was upstairs and downstairs the lady went

Put on her suit of leather o

It was the cry all around her door

She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy o

It was late last night that the lord came in

Inquiring for his a-lady o

The serving girls replied to him all

She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy o

Saddle for me me milk-white steed

Me big sense is not speedy o

I will ride and I'll seek my bride

She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy o

He rode east and he rode west

He rode north and south also

But when he rode to the wide open field

It was there that he spied his a-lady o

Why do you leave your house and your land

Why do you leave you money o

And why do you leave your only only-wedded lord

All for a raggle-taggle gypsy o

What do I care for me house and me land

What do I care for money o

And what do I care for me only-wedded lord

I'm away with the raggle-taggle gypsy o

Often you rode east when I rode west

You rode high when I rode low

I'd rather have a kiss of the yellow gypsy's lips

Than all of the cashier's money o

I'd rather have a kiss

I'd rather have a kiss of the yellow gypsy's lips

Than all of the cashier's money o
