Dm    Am  C   Dm

[Verse]
Dm
Come the three old gypsies to the old hall door
                    Am
They came brave and boldly-o
    C                                Dm
The one sang high and the other sang low
Dm
And the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o

[Verse]
Dm
It was upstairs, downstairs the lady went
                   Am
Put on her suit of leather-o
          C                         Dm
And there was a cry from around the door
Dm
She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o

Dm    Am  C   Dm

[Verse]
Dm
It was late that night when the Lord came in
                  Am
Enquiring for his lady-o
        C                             Dm
And the servant girl, she said to the Lord
 Dm
"She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

[Verse]
 Dm
"Then saddle for me my milk white steed
                    Am
My big horse is not speedy-o
    C                          Dm
And I will ride till I seek my bride
Dm
She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

[Verse]
Dm
Now he rode East and he rode West
                  Am
He rode North and South also
 C                          Dm
'Til he came to a wide open plain
Dm
It was there that he spied his lady-o

[Verse]
 Dm
"Tell me, how could you leave your goose feather bed
                        Am
Your blankets strewn so comely-o?
    C                                     Dm
And how could you leave your newly wedded Lord
Dm
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"

[Verse]
 Dm
"What care I for my goose feather bed
                       Am
Wi' blankets strewn so comely-o?
  C                          Dm
Tonight I lie in a wide open field
Dm
In the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o"

[Instrumental]
Dm    Am  C   Dm

[Verse]
 Dm
"How could you leave your house and your land?
                         Am
How could you leave your money-o?
C                                    Dm
How could you leave your only wedded Lord
Dm
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"

[Verse]
 Dm
"Well, a'what care I for my house and my land?
                   Am
What care I for my money-o?
    C                                          Dm
I'd rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips
Dm
I'm away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o!"
