There were three gypsies, came to our hall door,
and downstairs came our lady-o,
There was one sang high and another sang low,
The other sang the bonny bonny biscay-o. 

They sang so fast and they sang so shrill,
That fast her tears began to flow,
She laid down her silken gown,
Her golden rings and all her show. 

Then she pulled off her silk finished gown,
And she pulled off her satin bow,
She left them all at our door,
She is gone with the raggle taggle gypsies-o. 

it was late at night, when my lord came home,
Enquiring for his lady-o,
The servants said on every hand,
She is gone with the raggle taggle gypsies-o. 

O he rode high and he rode low,
He rode through wood and corpses-o,
Until he came to a wide open field,
And there he spied his lady-o. 

O what made you leave your house and land,
What made you leave your money-o,
And what made you leave your new-wedded lord,
To be off with the raggle-taggle gypsies-o. 

O what care have I for my house and land,
What care have I for money-o,
And what care have I for my newly-wedded lord,
I'm off with the raggle-taggle gypsies-o. 

O what care I for my goose feathered bed,
With the sheet turned down so bravely-o,
Tonight I will sleep in a wide open field,
In the arms of my raggle-taggle-gypsy-o.
