The Waterboys - The raggle taggle gypsy - 2008 remastered version lyrics

There was three old gypsies came to our hall door They came brave and boldly-o And the 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 there was a cry from around the door She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o It was late that night when the Lord came in Inquiring for his lady-o And the servant girl, she says to the Lord "She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o" Then saddle for me, my milk white steed The big horse is not speedy-o And I will ride till I seek my bride She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o Now he rode east and he rode west He rode north and south also Until he came to a wide open plain It was there that he spied his lady-o Tell me how could you leave your goose feather bed Your blanket's strewn so comely-o? How could you leave your newly wedded Lord All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o? Well, what care I for my goose feather bed For my blankets strewn so comely-o? Tonight I lie in a wide open field In the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o How could you leave your house and your land? How could you leave your money-o? How could you leave your only wedded Lord All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o? Well, what care I for my house and my land? What care I for my money-o? I'd rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
