Planxty - Raggle taggle gypsy - tabhair dom do lamh lyrics

There were three auld gypsies came to our hall door They came brave and boldly-o And one sang high and the other sang low And the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o It was upstairs, downstairs the lady went Put on her suit of leather-o And it was the cry all around her door; "She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o" It was late that night when the lord came in Enquiring for his lady-o And the servant girl's reply to him was; "She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o" "Then saddle for me my milk-white steed Me big horse is not speedy-o And I will ride and I'll seek me bride She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o" He rode east and he rode west He rode north and south also And when he rode to the wide open field It was there that he spied his lady-o "Arra, why did you leave your house and your land Why did you leave your money-o? Why did you leave your only wedded lord All for the raggle taggle gypsy-o?" "Yerra what do I care for me house and me land? What do I care for money-o? What do I care for me only wedded lord? I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o" "It was there last night you'd a goose feather bed Blankets drawn so comely-o But tonight you lie in a wide open field In the arms of the raggle taggle gypsy-o" "Yerra, what do I care for me goose feather bed? Yerra, what do I care for blankets-o? What do I care for me only wedded lord? I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o" "Oh, for you rode east when I rode west You rode high and I rode low I'd rather have a kiss of the yellow gypsy's lips Than all the cash and money-o"
