Nevertheless it's one my mom sung to me when I was a wee lass, and I've had two lines of it stuck in my head ever since. So I figured if I'm going around the house singing two lines of it, I might as well learn the rest. So what do you say anybody out there know the lyrics to Raggle Taggle Gypsie 'O? |

26 Oct 00 - 01:29 PM (#327874) Subject: RE: Raggle Taggle Gypsie 'O From: MMario Robin, this has been discussed quite a bit, actually and I will try to link to some of the threads. The search features can be a bit tricky until you get used to them, though they are powerful once you get the hang of them. hmmmm......I KNOW they are out there...just can't seem to find them today but if the version our resident klepto-rodent linked you to is not correct, try searching the DT (search boxz at top right of this page) for #200. That will bring up any of the variants on Child Ballad 200 in the DT - of which this song is one. |

12 Jan 04 - 11:24 AM (#1091166) Subject: Lyr Add: RAGGLE TAGGLE GYPSY From: GUEST,Handi RAGGLE TAGGLE GYPSY 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, Inquiring 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. "Yerra, 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" |
