There were three [bad word] to my hall door 
Down the stairs ran this lady-o 
One sang high and the other sang low 
And the other sang a Bonny, Bonny, Biscayo 

It was up the stairs that the lady went 
Put on her silk and leather - o 
There was a cry from around the door 
She's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o 

It was late that night when the lord came in 
Enquiring for his lady-o 
The servants said on every hand 
She's away with the raggle-taggle- gypsy-o 

0 saddle for me my milk white steed 
Go fetch me my pony-o 
That I may go and seek my bride 
Who's away with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o 

0 he rode east and he rode west 
He rode through-the copses-o 
Until he came to a wide open field 
It was there that he spied his lady-o 

0 what made you leave your house and your 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 

0 what do I care for my house and my land 
What do I care I for money-o 
What do I care for my new-wedded lord 
I'm off with the raggle-taggle gypsy-o
