|
There were three gypsies coming to my hall door |
|
Down the stairs ran his lady-o |
|
One sang high and the other sang low |
|
And the other sang a Bonny, Bonny, Biscayo |
|
It was up the stairs that the lady went |
|
Put on her silk and leather-o |
|
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 |
|
Enquiring for his lady-o |
|
The servants said on every hand |
|
She's away with the raggle-taggle- gypsy-o |
|
0 saddle for me my milk white steed |
|
To go fetch me my bonny-o |
|
That I may go and seek my bride |
|
Who's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o |
|
0 he rode east and he rode west |
|
He rode through-the copses-o |
|
Until he came to a wide open field |
|
It was there that he spied his lady-o |
|
0 what made you leave your house and your land |
|
What made you leave your money-o |
|
What made you leave your new-wedded lord |
|
To be off with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o |
|
0 what do I care for my house and my land |
|
What do I care I for money-o |
|
What do I care for my new-wedded lord |
|
I'm off with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o |
