The Irish Descendants - Raggle Taggle Gypsy lyrics

There were three old gypsies came to our hall door They came brave and bold-ee-oh And there's one sang high and the other sang low And the lady sang the Raggle Taggle gypsie-oh It was upstairs and downstairs the Lady went Put on her suit of leather-oh It was the cry all around the door She's away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsie-oh It was late that night when the Lord came in inquiring for his Lady-oh The servant girl she replied to the Lord She's away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsie-oh Oh then saddle for me my milk-white steed My big horse is not speedy-oh Tonight I'll ride to the wide open field and it's there that I'll spy my Lady-oh So he rode east. He rode west He rode North and south also It was when he rode to the wide open field it was there that he spied his Lady-oh Oh why did you leave your house and your land Why did you leave your money-oh And why did you leave your only wedded Lord To be off with the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-oh What do I care for me house and me land What do I care for money-oh And what do I care for me only wedded Lord I'm away with the Raggle Taggle Gyspy-oh Last night you slept in a goose-feather bed The blankets drawn so comely-oh Tonight you'll lie in the wide open field In the arms of the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-oh What do I care for a goose-feather bed What do I care for blankets-oh What do I care for me only wedded Lord I'm away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-oh So he rode east, she rode west He rode high and I rode low I'd rather have a kiss of a yello Gypsy's lips Than all of your cash and your money-oh There were three old gypsies came to our hall door They came brave and bold-ee-oh And there's one sang high and the other sang low And the lady sang the Raggle Taggle gypsie-oh
