Raggle Taggle Gypsy

(альбом: Fiddler's Green - 1992)

There were three gypsies coming to my hall door
Down the stairs ran his lady-o
One sang high and the other sang low
And the other sang a Bonny, Bonny, Biscayo

It was up the stairs that the lady went
Put on her silk and leather-o
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
Enquiring for his lady-o
The servants said on every hand
She's away with the raggletaggle gypsy-o

O saddle for me my milk white steed
To go fetch me my bonny-o
That I may go and seek my bride
Who's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o

O he rode east and he rode west
He rode through-the copses-o
Until he came to a wide open field
It was there that he spied his lady-o

O what made you leave your house and your land
What made you leave your money-o
What made you leave your new-wedded lord
To be off with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o

O what do I care for my house and my land
What do I care I for money-o
What do I care for my new-wedded lord
I'm off with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o
