Raggle Taggle Gypsy

           Em
There were three old gypsies came to our hall door
C         D         G
They came brave and boldly-o
G                         B7         Em
And one sang high and the other sang low
                     B7            Em   B7 Em
And the other sang a raggle taggle gyp- sy-o

[Verse 2]

          Em
It was upstairs downstairs the lady went
C          D       G
Put on her suit of leather-o
G                        B7         Em
And there was a cry from around the door
                   B7            Em B7 Em
She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o

[Verse 3]

       Em
It was late that night when the Lord came in
C         D       G
Enquiring for his lady-o
G                        B7          Em
And the servant girl she said to the Lord
                    B7            Em B7 Em
"She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

[Verse 4]

      Em
"Then saddle for me my milk white steed
     C            D      G
- my big horse is not so speedy-o
G                      B7      Em
And I will ride till I seek my bride
                   B7            Em B7 Em
She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

[Verse 5]

    Em
Now he rode East and he rode West
C       D         G
He rode North and South also
G                  B7        Em
Until he came to a wide open plain
                     B7        Em B7 Em
It was there that he spied his la-dy-o

[Verse 6]

     Em
"How could you leave your goose feather bed
C             D         G
Your blankeys strewn so comely-o?
G                            B7           Em
And how could you leave your newly wedded Lord
          B7            Em B7 Em
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"

[Verse 7]

      Em
"What care I for my goose feather bed
C            D         G
Wi' blankets strewn so comely-o?
G                  B7        Em
Tonight I lie in a wide open field
                 B7            Em B7 Em
In the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o"

[Verse 8]

     Em
"How could you leave your house and your land?
C             D          G
How could you leave your money-o?
G                        B7          Em
How could you leave your only wedded Lord
          B7            Em B7 Em
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"

      Em
"What care I for my house and my land?

What care I for my money-o?
G                               B7             Em
I'd rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips
                 B7            Em B7 Em
I'm away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o!"
