Tom: Am
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.
