about

We finish with three more well know and well-loved session reels that some of us have played for so long that it would be hard to say where we first got them.... just three more refreshing sips from the ever-flowing stream of tunes.

lyrics

There were three old gypsies came to our hall door
They came brave and boldly-o
And one sang high and the other sang low
And the lady's seen the raggle taggle gypsy-o

It was upstairs downstairs the lady went
Put on her suit of leather-o
And it was the cry from around the door
She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o

It was late that night when me Lord came in
Enquiring for his lady-o
And the serving girl she said to him all
"She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

"Then saddle for me my milk-white steed
My big horse is not speedy-o
And I will ride and I'll seek my bride
She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

Now he rode East and he rode West
He rode North and South also
Until he came to a wide-open plain
It was there that he spied his lady-o

"How could you leave your goose feather bed
With blankets drawn so comely-o?
And how could you leave your newly-wedded Lord
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"

"What do I care for my goose feather bed
Wi' blankets drawn so comely-o?
Tonight I lie in a wide-open field
In the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o"

"How could you leave your house and your land?
How could you leave your money-o?
How could you leave your only-wedded Lord
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"

"What care I for my house and my land?
What care I for my money-o?
I'd rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips
Than all of the cashier's money-oh!"
