robinia Origins: The Raggle-Taggle Gypsy (128* d) RE: The Raggle-Taggle Gypsy 20 Mar 03


I like the "realistic" note on which an Appalachian version of the song (as sung by Jean Ritchie) ends: "Oh soon this lady changed her mind/ her clothes grew old and faded/ Her hose and shoes came off her feet/ and left them bare and naked.
Just what befell this lady now/ I think it worth relating/ Her gypsy found another lass/ and left her heart a-breaking."
