verse 1 There were three gypsies coming to my hall door And downstairs ran this lady-o. One sang high and the other sang low And the other sang Bonny Bonny Bis-cay-o. verse 2 Then she pulled off her silk-finished gown, and put on a hose of leather-o. The ragged ragged rags about our door, She is gone with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o. verse 3 It was late last night when my lord came home, Enquiring for his lady-o. The servants said on every hand, "She is gone with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o." Instrumental verse 4 "O saddle for me my milk-white steed, and go fetch me my pony-o, That I may go and seek my bride, Who is gone with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o." Verse 5 O he rode high and he rode low, he rode through woode and copses-o, Until he came to a wide open field, and there he spied his lady-o. Instrumental Verse 6 "O what made you leave your house and land, what made you leave your money-o, What made you leave your new-wedded lord, to be off with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o?" Verse 7 "O what care I for my house and land, what care I for money-o? What care I for my new-wedded lord, to be off with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o." Verse 8 "Last night you slept on a goose-feathered bed, with the sheet turned down so bravely-o. Tonight you'll sleep in a cold open field, along with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o." Verse 9 "O what care I for my goose-feathered bed, with the sheet turned down so bravely-o? Tonight I will sleep in a cold open field, along wih the raggle-taggle gypsy-o."
