And there were three old gypsies came to our hall door They came raving boldly, hee-haw And this one sang high and the other sang low And the lady sang the rag-a-taggle gypsy, hee-haw It was upstairs, downstairs the lady went Put on her suit of leather, hurrah And that was the cry all around our door She's away with the rag-a-taggle gypsy, hee-haw It was late that night, oh the Lord came in Inquiring for his lady, hee-haw And the servant girls replied to him She's away with the rag-a-taggle gypsy, hee-haw Oh then saddle for me, me milk-white speed Me big horse is not speedy, hee-haw And I will ride and I'll seek me bride She's away with the rag-a-taggle gypsy, hee-haw Oh then he rode east and he rode west He rode north and south also But when he rode to the wide open field It was there that he spied his lady, hee-haw Hurrah, why do you leave your house and your land? Why do you leave your money, hee-haw? Why do you leave your only wedded Lord All for the rag-a-taggle gypsy, hee-haw? Yerrah, what do I care for me house and me land? What do I care for money, hee-haw? Yerrah, what do I care for me only wedded Lord? I'm away with the rag-a-taggle gypsy, hee-haw It was there last night he had a goose-feather bed With blankets drawn so calmly, hee-haw But tonight you lie in the wide open field In the arms of the rag-a-taggle gypsy, hee-haw Yerrah, what do I care for me goose-feather bed? Yerrah, what do I care for blankets, oh? Yerrah, what do I care for me only wedded Lord? I'm away with the rag-a-taggle gypsy, hee-haw Oh, for you rode east when I rode west You rode high when I rode low I'd rather have a kiss at the yellow gypsy's lips Than a lot of cash as one in the old Man, I just can't get enough of the Cuckoo's singing It's just a wonderful thing to hear I'm away with the rag-a-taggle gypsy, hee-haw Yerrah, what do I care for me goose-feather bed? Yerrah, what do I care for me goose-feather bed?
