| Waterboys Miscellaneous Raggle-Taggle Gypsy "The Raggle-Taggle Gypsy" (trad., remade by The Waterboys on _Room_To_Roam_) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 at last he came to a wide-open field It was there that he spied his lady-o "Tell me, how could you leave your goose-feather 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!" |
