damh the bard - raggle taggle gypsies lyrics
there were three young gypsies come to our hall door,
they came brave and boldly-o
and one sang high and the other sang low,
and the other sang the raggle taggle gypsy-o
well 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,
my big horse is not speedy-o,
tonight i’ll ride, to seek my bride,
she’s away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
well he rode east, and he rode west,
he rode north and south also,
until he came to a wide open plane,
that’s where he spied his lady-o.
how could you leave your house and your land?
how could you leave your money-o?
how could you leave your newly-wedded lord,
all for the raggle taggle gypsy-o?
well what care i for my house and my land?
what do i care for money-o?
i’d rather have a kiss from a 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 newly-wedded lord,
all for the raggle taggle gypsy-o?
well what care i for my house and my land?
what do i care for money-o?
tonight i’ll lie in a wide open field,
in the arms of my raggle taggle gypsy-o
