Raggle Taggle Gypsy/Tabhair Dom Do Lamh

There were three auld 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 it was the cry all around her 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's reply to him was; "She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o" "Then saddle for me my milk-white steed Me big horse is not speedy-o And I will ride and I'll seek me bride, She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o" He rode east and he rode west He rode north and south also, And when he rode to the wide open field It was there that he spied his lady-o. "Arra, why did you leave your house and your land, Why did you leave your money-o? Why did you leave your only wedded lord All for the raggle taggle gypsy-o?" "Yerra what do I care for me house and me land? What do I care for money-o? What do I care for me only wedded lord? I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o" "It was there last night you'd a goose feather bed, Blankets drawn so comely-o. But tonight you lie in a wide open field In the arms of the raggle taggle gypsy-o" "Yerra, what do I care for me goose feather bed? Yerra, what do I care for blankets-o? What do I care for me only wedded lord? I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o" "Oh, for you rode east when I rode west, You rode high and I rode low. I'd rather have a kiss of the yellow gypsy's lips Than all the cash and money-o"
