There were
[
Em
]
three old gypsies came to our house door.
They came brave and
[
Bm
]
boldy-o
And the
[
D
]
one sang high and the other sang
[
Em
]
low.
And the other sang a raggle taggle
[
G
]
gyp
[
D
]
sy-
[
Em
]
o
It was up
[
Em
]
stairs, downstairs the lady went.
Put on her suit of
[
Bm
]
leather-o
And there
[
D
]
was a cry from around the
[
Em
]
door.
She's away with the raggle taggle
[
G
]
gyp
[
D
]
sy-
[

It was
[
Em
]
late that night when the lord came in.
Inquiring for his
[
Bm
]
lady-
[
Em
]
o
And the
[
D
]
servant girl she says to the
[
Em
]
lord.
"She's away with the raggle taggle
[
G
]
gyp
[
D
]
sy-
[
Em
]
o"
"Well,
[
Em
]
saddle for me my milk-white steed.
My big horse is not
[
Bm
]
speedy-o
And
[
D
]
I will ride till I seek my
[
Em
]
bride.
She's away with the raggle taggle
[
G
]
gyp
[
D
]
sy-
[
Em

o"

Well,
[
Em
]
he rode east, and he rode west,
He rode north and
[
Bm
]
south also
Until he
[
D
]
came to a wide-open
[
Em
]
field.
It was there that he spied his
[
G
]
la
[
D
]
dy-
[
Em
]
o
"Tell me,
[
Em
]
how could you leave your goosefeather bed,
your blankets strewn so
[
Bm
]
comely-o
How
[
D
]
could you leave your newly-wedded
[
Em

lord,
All for a raggle taggle
[
G
]
gyp
[

sy-

o?"
"Well,
[
Em
]
what care I for my goose-feather bed,
For my blankets strewn so
[
Bm
]
comely-o?
To
[
D
]
night I lie in a wide-open
[
Em
]
field.
In the arms of a raggle taggle
[

gyp
[

How could you leave your

How

"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
