- Lyrics:
There were three old gypsies; came to our hall door
They came brave and bold-ee-oh
And there's one sang high and the other sang low
And the lady sang the Raggle Taggle gypsie-oh
It was upstairs and downstairs the Lady went
Put on her suit of leather-oh
It was the cry all around the door
She's away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsie-oh
It was late that night when the Lord came in
Inquiring for his Lady-oh
The servant girl she replied to the Lord
She's away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsie-oh
Oh then saddle for me
Me' milk-white steed
Me' big horse is not speedy-oh
Tonight I'll ride to the wide open field and it's there that I'll spy my Lady-oh
So he rode east.
He rode west
He rode North and south also
It was when he rode to the wide open field
It was there that he spied his Lady-oh
Oh why did you leave your house and your land
Why did you leave your money-oh
And why did you leave your only wedded Lord
To be off with the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-oh
What do I care for me house and me land
What do I care for money-oh
And what do I care for me only wedded Lord
I'm away with the Raggle Taggle Gyspy-oh
Last night you slept in a goose-feather bed
The blankets drawn so comely-oh
Tonight you'll lie in the wide open field
In the arms of the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-oh
You're a - What do I care for a goose-feather bed
What do I care for blankets-oh
And you're a - What do I care for me only wedded Lord
I'm away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-oh
So he rode east,
She rode west
He rode high and I rode low
Well I'd rather have a kiss of a yello Gypsy's lips
Than all of your cash and your money-oh
There were three old gypsies came to our hall door
They came brave and bold-ee-oh
And there's one sang high and the other sang low
And the lady sang the Raggle Taggle gypsie-oh

I was taught this song 75 years ago when I was studying in primary two in Colonial Singapore. We were taught many more English folk songs like the " Sweet Nightingale". We also sang the Volga boatmen. Singing was then a school subject , and sadly, I believe it is no more.
I went to Christian primary school about 9 years ago now, and we still sang hymns and songs in our hall, lyrics shown on a projector. It was a good experience, I’m sure the smaller schools still preserve it :)
Reply this if you're still alive

so your about 83 years old now
Amazing how the British stole our beautiful Irish folk.
Disgusting
One of my favorite songs learned in elementary school in Nebraska in the 1960's. It's now 2020 and I'm 63. I had remembered or learned some of the Lady's words differently: "Oh, oh, what do I care for my house and land? What do I care for my money-oh. What do I care for my goose-feathered bed with the cover turned down so bravely-oh?"
I was taught this song as a teenager in the mid 1960s at my Ghana 🇬🇭 boarding school, I have lived in England 🏴for 50 years and today it suddenly came to me again.😊
Me big horse is not speedio
Favorite part of the whole song
🤣
You need a milk white steed
What has society became to forget of songs like this.
I wonder the same thing....
GeneralCarvalho i guess they need a drop of the pure
I'm watching it in 2017 :p
right tho!
GeneralCarvalho Opaa! Outro brasileiro aqui
I first listened to this song when I was in Year 5 and now I'm 21. Brings back so much memories...
My favorite version of this song.
They do an excellent version of Catch The Wind as well.
always loved this song. Excellent version.

I'VE JUST DISCOVERED THE IRISH DESCENDANTS WHAT A GREAT BAND
FRANK O' NEILL
Another classic song... My dads favourite ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really love this song
From saudi arabia🌷
I'm a big fan of this group. One of my favorite songs .love it 😊
This was my favourite from young voices
One of their best songs =)
Irish Descendants are amazing :) by far my favorite
My piano teacher is teaching me this so I looked it up and holy SHIT this is good
Thanks for a great version of this song, which was a favourite of my late sister's. It is thought to go back several hundred years and versions have been collected all over the UK and Ireland in a very constant form. I feel the main attraction for the common folk, apart from the great words and tune, was the frustration of the cuckhold Lord. I'm surprised these days they haven't had to rename it "The wardrobe challenged travellers"!
haven't heard this tune in years! Beauty!
not as think as you drunk i am... Oh, I get it now!! XD
It's drunken master yoda.
@MrMetalheart10 it was used by irish folk artists during the 60s and 70s folk revival and has been absorbed into irish society at this stage.Like dirty old town the Ewan Mccoll song is about Salford in northwest england.we all think its about dublin.i suppose both songs are relevant to both cultures in their own way.
My grandma would sing me this to sleep every night, obviously not like this but the melody is pretty similar
First heard this song around an SCA camp fire. Never forgot it. Pure magic man.
me big horse is not speeedy'oh
Horse becomes sonic
I came here from Bartley Gorman, the greatest bare knuckle fighting man to have ever lived.
love this too
Love this! Thank you!
I heard this song at a battle where the Boers were fighting an empire and actually won in 1880.
Lol me to. The British got there asses whooped
Wow, you must be over 140 years old.
they are from Canada! we are happy and proud to claim them! lol
don paynter To be more precise they are from Newfoundland.
lol,technical point but valid!
Newfoundland is Canada...My grandparents are Irish came into Nova Scotia...Heard this song frequently throughout my young years.
its a good song. good job granddad
All-time favorite song.
used to love this kind of music, then I forgot about it. downloaded the fallout 4 mod Kiss Me Arse Radio and rediscovered my favorite type of music.
Link to mod? Is it on Steam Workshop?
TheWhoamaters
+Nena Whitty yes?
Arthfael Online omg same I love that mod
My husband has the same mod. I have been having a love affair with this music.

Nice song
I like the speed of this. Most bands sing too fast. I like to hear every word.
Thanks.
Right proper version.
@PippinRally It is a Scottish song its a very old Borders song and is about a Scottish lord wife who ran off two gypsy's one of the gypsy's was killed, and the other escaped, and the Lady was imprisoned and died in 1642.
What was her name? What key words can I use to search for the story on the internet?
i love this version!!!
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 other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o
It was upstairs downstairs the lady went
Put on her suit of leather-o
And there was a cry from around the door
She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o
It was late that night when the Lord came in
Enquiring for his lady-o
And the servant girl she said to the Lord
"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 till I 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
Your blankeys strewn so comely-o?
And how could you leave your newly wedded Lord
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"
"What care I for my goose feather bed
Wi' blankets strewn 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
I'm away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o!"
lyrics are off. way off
I wrote them for myself, trying to learn lyrics
The lyrics are in the description. Good luck, its a long song where even the chorus changes
There is a version of this song which became a different song called Black Jack David. It's common in the southern US.
BRILLIANT version!
That's an good answer. We can all agree to enjoy the music together.
OMG!! I LOVE THIS SONG! I'll be performing this
Bcassey Okay let me guess - young voices? i performed yesterday.
Anish N Yea, exactly... I'll be doing it next week tho
I cant understand why con, ronnie, d'arcy, and stamp at least , cant get together and make something as intense as this
lovely auld scottish song
This is such a great song ^^
Love this song it was me old dad's favourite always reminds me of him he was a gypsy used to sing it when we were kids rip 🙏 dad 😀
Magic :)
Great song and good artwork
love it so much
nice
the best version.
Newfoundlands own
This song makes me feel irish.😀😆
YEs , I agree this one sits with me...
I've heard a version of this song years ago with a verse that makes it plain that the Lord was in the habit of staying out late drinking with his cronies, and his lady got fed up, but I can't remember where I heard it. The Water Boys do an excellent version too, by the way.
My whole body feels elsewhere
Sonsho Ippo honestly love when songs tell a story :) such a good one as well
i like this
there was one who sang high and the other sang low
This a magic song...A song that both Scottish and Irish bands play...This sounds like English folk still good but over produced in an English stylee. A song like this should rattle your Celtic bones.
It's a border ballad, so adding English sensibilities works :P
English is celit we are not saxon and gypsies are from India not Irish travellers
wow, i like this lyrics
Very Jethro Tull's style, I like it.
Second fav song found
Go Ireland!
From Galiza
If you're thinking these guys are Irish then you're mistaken. This is a Newfoundland band.
MultiChimRichalds Based on traditionnal Irish songs that they remixed and redone, so everybody win, Ireland who created it and Newfoundland who interpret it.
MultiChimRichalds
MultiChimRichalds Why do you assume we Irish think this is an Irish group?
They obviously are not so end of!
Ya and fuck off from Ireland with a profile pic like that!
The italian singer and author Angelo Branduardi took this music for his famous song "Vanità di Vanità". I knew he studied irish music and sounds but didn't imagine that. Anyways is this a Traveler song? Bacause it is about "gypsies"... if everyone knows...
💛
Never heard this version, stumbled across it when looking for a different version.
When this happens in real life l ask what makes the lady do it? Why do they think they can live this life, do they think its romantic, are they sick of their other half? Possibly that,,,,,,or do they only want a bit of rough,,,,,,, but then why should we complain,its great xxxxx
If you look at the time this was written, women were either married with children or living with parents. Some got fed up with being controlled and constantly having to do the right thing. The chance to travel around must have been intoxicating.
gipsy's song... god bless gipsys !!
love the aussies the only country conninent that listens to nfld music
классно
someone should upload the video solo acoustic version from the movie "JOSEPH ANDREWS" - a humourous , farcicle period movie with excellent costumes and a lot of villianous fops, dandies, grave robbers, and dishonest highwaymen >> starring; Ann Margret as 'Lady Booby'
That is a fuckin sweet version, i love it!
LEE HEANEY
I fell in love with this song when my mom was driving me home from kindergarten one day. I'm not sure why it took me that long, since I'd already heard it many times before.
I was very sad when I learned, many years later, that "gypsy" was a racial slur and that singing this in public ran the risk of hurting people's feelings.
Wish the irish and the scotts would stop going on about who the song belongs to , as most geogios dont like travelers only this song and if it happened to their woman folk they would hate the song, ps l know l was the moden day version of that raggle taggle gypsy o,
The Scots are simple the Irish who could swim. The Irish invented Scotland. Scotti means Irishman
Well, gypsies were nomads for most of their history, so does it truly belong anywhere? Or does it belong everywhere?
Well thats false. No one's starving over here in Canada. Descendants of Ireland, go preach your shyte somewhere else. FOOL.
@Judgement Day polluted blood ? Scots are pure inbred .......research sawney bean and his family children from.children .........no wonder Adrian built a wall when he discovered Scotland ya fool you been watching to much braveheart now sit down you sausage
@Judgement Day, I find it hilarious that idiot racist xenophobes are half literate morons in Europe too. I was afraid it was only in America.
Really, really good.
I love the kind of tuning.
Is it a bouzouki or an octave mandolin?
Strange thing is I w
Saw a bear war movie with this song and I think of the bier war when I hear it.
I mean boer war
I must admit, it makes me laugh the below - especially as I've got a book which identifies it as English so we aren't the only ones who can't decide. Maybe it's just different version (since mine is titled "Wraggle Taggle Gypsies" and has many more verses than this version). BTW Wiki has it down as being from the borders, to the Scottish side.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!!!
SZÉNN!
If you like this song, listen to "Rox in the Box" by the Decemberists. It has got the same upbeat tune:)
Raggle Taggle Gypsy / Black Jack Davy... Same story.. i think so !
If someone could make a tab of the instrumental in the background for ukulele I would be very grateful. The tuning I use is GCEA.
Clive Lamdin LoL, I’m curious too
@kitchenmachine I know, I wish I knew where I could buy this version
Long ago in Ireland people used to go around calling to houses begging. Helps with understanding some of the song
Alas it is in fact an old Scottish ballad.
They did it in England when I was there in the 60s and 70s and Wales when I was there in the 80s and I always had them in for tea and fortune telling
I'm 14 I love dank memes and I love this song I found this while watching a video about the boer wars
Is jy Afrikaans?
O, fok. Dis 'n 'comment' van een jaar terug, bliksem.
Bronkhorspruit to Majuba
I love this version and I hit 'like'. I don't know what all this junk below is all about. Do you like the music? We sing Kumbaya here in the USA and I think it came from somewhere else. (I have a dry sense of humor. Please don't tell me where it came from. I have versions in several different African languages. My grandson once asked me if I had any music where the people were singing in English. He was quite young at the time.)
Yeah I believe it originated from the Borders.
@kitchenmachine I'm sure you did not hear the SCAFELL PIKE version, which is very rare and absolutely the BEST version of this song ever. So unfortunately noone posted it on RUclips yet. I tell you, after hearing it, you will reevaluate your opinion. Anyway the second best is the WATERBOYS version ! But this is also great, you are right.
It wasn't until my third or fourth listening to this story that I realize the gypsy lady telling the story is the Lady in the story itself.
Listen to Bartley Gorman sing this - its on you tube search King of the Gypsies Shane Meadows
Another fine selection from "Gypsies & Lovers". Great song and great performance regardless of the country of origin. Like they say, Scotland and Ireland are only a stone's throw from each other - and they often did that - threw stones! Probably more music and culture though.
ha ha ha, no by'
01:35 - 02:20 This is the part you all are coming for😉Cheers!
in pubs in scotland ireland and wales ye will get great music like this hooray henry londoners no chance
GAVIN RUSSELL us maritimers love it too 🇨🇦
The Battle of misterbubz is coming soon and I'm going to make it with that song
