The Raggle Taggle Gypsy (Live) - The Waterboys
There were three old 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 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
And the servant girl she said to the lord
She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy o
Then saddle for me my milk white steed
Becuse my 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
How could you leave your goose feather bed
Your blankeys strewn so comely o
And how could you leave your newly wedded lord
All for a raggle taggle gypsy o
What care I for my goose feather bed
With 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
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
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
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
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
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
