 There were three  old gypsies came to our house door. They came brave and boldy-o
 And the 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 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. Inquiring for his lady-o
 And the servant  girl she says to the lord.  "She's away  with the  raggle taggle gypsy-o"
 "Well, saddle  for me my milk-white steed. My big horse is not speedy-o
 And I  will ride till I 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 field.  It was there  that he spied  his lady-o
 "Tell me, how  could you leave your goosefeather bed, your blankets strewn so comely-o
 How  could you leave your newly-wedded lord, All  for a  raggle taggle gypsy-o?"
 "Well, what  care I for my goose-feather bed, For my blankets strewn so comely-o?
 Tonight  I lie in a wide-open field.  In the arms  of a raggle  taggle gypsy-o"
 "Tell me, how  could you leave your house and your land, How could you leave your money-o
 How  could you leave your only wedded lord, All  for a raggle  taggle gypsy-o?"
 "Well, what  care I for my house and my land, And what care I for my money-o?
 I'd rather  have a kiss from the yellow  gypsy's lips,
 I'm away  with the raggle  taggle gypsy-o!"
