There were three auld gypsies came
to our door.
Brave and boldly-o.
One sang high, the other sang low
And the lady sang a raggle taggle
gypsy-o.
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"
My mama said I never should
Play with the gypsies in the wood
My mama said I never should
Play with the gypsies in the wood
Nanananana Nanananana Nananana

It was late that night the lord came in,
Enquiring for his lady-o,
The servant girl's reply to him was;
"She's away with the raggle taggle
gypsy-o"
"Saddle for me my milk-white steed
Me big horse is not speedy-o
I will ride and seek me bride,
She's away with the raggle taggle
gypsy-o"
Oh 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?"
"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
to our door.
Brave and boldly-o.
