Thread Name: Origins: The Raggle-Taggle Gypsy
Subject: RE: Origins: The Raggle-Taggle Gypsy
THE WRAGGLE-TAGGLE GYPSIES is mentioned in A History of Music in England by Ernest Walker (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1907):I have been unable to identify any book with the exact title "Somerset Folk-Songs" so I suspect he meant "Folk Songs from Somerset" gathered and edited with pianoforte accompaniment, by Cecil J. Sharp and Charles L. Marson (London: Simpkin, 1905).

The latter book doesn't seem to be viewable online.
