There were three old gypsies came to our hall door

They came brave and boldly-o

Enquiring for his lady-o
G                        B7          Em

- my big horse is not so speedy-o
G                      B7      Em
And I will ride till I seek my bride

She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

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

All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"

[Verse 7]
      Em
"What care I for my goose feather bed

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?

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?"

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!"
