Raggle Taggle Gypsy

Am
There were three bold gypsies came to our hall door
                    C      Em
They came brave and boldly-o
                                              Am
Well there’s one sang high and the other sang low
                      Em            Am
And the lady sang The Raggle-Taggle Gypsy-o.

[Verse 2]
Am
It was upstairs downstairs the lady went
                    C      Em
put on her suit of leather-o
                                     Am
And there came a cry from around the door
                      Em            Am
she’s away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o.

[Verse 3]
Am
It was late that night when the Lord came in
                  C      Em
enquiring for his lady-o
                                     Am
And the servant girl she said to the Lord
                      Em            Am
“She’s away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o.”

[Verse 4]
Am
“Well saddle for me my milk white steed
                      C      Em
– my big horse is not speedy-o
                               Am
And I will ride till I seek my bride
                      Em            Am
she’s away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o.”

[Verse 5]
Am
Now he rode East and he rode West
                   C      Em
he rode North and South also
                             Am
Until he came to a wide open plain
                      Em            Am
it was there that he spied his lady-o.

[Verse 6]
Am
“How could you leave your house and your land
                         C      Em
How could you leave your money-o?
                                         Am
And how could you leave your only wedded Lord
           Em            Am
all for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?”

[Verse 6]
Am
“Well what care I for my house and my land?
                    C      Em
what care I for my money-o?
                                               Am
I’d rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy’s lips
                     Em            Am
I’m away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o!”

[Verse 7]
Am
How could you leave your goose feather bed
                   C      Em
Blankets strewn so comely-o
                                     Am
How could you leave your only wedded lord
            Em            Am
All for the gaggle taggle gypsy-o.

[Verse 8]
Am
What care I for my goose feather bed
                    C      Em
Blankets strewn so comely-o
                              Am
Tonight I lie in a wide open field
                  Em            Am
In the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o.
