Robin Williamson - The Raggle Taggle Gipsies lyrics



Gipsies came to the castle gate

They sang so high, they sang so low

They sang so sweet, so very very sweet

They stole away the heart of the lady-o

She came stepping down the stairs

With all her maids before her--o

Soon as the gipsies saw her pretty face

They cast their glamourie oer her-o

She kicked off her heeled shoes

Made of Spanish leather-o

And shes out in the street in her bare, bare feet

Following the raggle taggle gipsies--o

Late that night when the lord came home

Enquiring for his lady-o

The servants gave him this reply

"Shes gone with the raggle taggle gipsies-o"

"Saddle me up my my bonny black steed

The white was never so speedy--o

That I may ride a long summers night

In search of my false lady-o"

He rode east and he rode west

Till he was wondrous weary-o

Until he got near to the banks of the sea

And there he found his lady-o

"Would you leave your house and your land?

Would you leave your baby-o?

And would you leave your newly wedded lord?

And follow the raggle taggle gipsies-o?"

"I would leave my house and land

I would leave my baby-o

Id rather have a kiss from the gipsy laddies lips

Than you and all your money-o

Last night I slept in a goose--feather bed

Sheets and blankets so cosy-o

Tonight I will lie in the cold open fields

With the gipsies lying all around me--o
