DESCRIPTION:
a scottish song

Three gypsies through the castle wall
They sang so high and they sang so low
The lady in her chamber lay
And her heart just melted away like snow.

Then she took off her silk-finished gown
Her high-heeled shoes of leather-O
She went down the street with her bare feet
To go with the raggle-taggle gypsies-O

When the lord came home in the evening so late
He spied out for his lady-O
Servants said and they hung down their heads
She's gone with the raggle-taggle gipsies-O

Go saddle for me my milk-white steed
And go and fetch me my pony, O!
I will ride and seek my bride
Who is gone with the raggle-taggle gypsies-O!

And he rode east and he rode east and he rode west
Through woods and copses too
Until he came to an open field
And there he spied his lady-O!

How dare you leave your house and land?
How dare you leave your money-O?
How dare you leave your newly- wedded lord?
To go with the raggle taggle gypsies-O!

Oh, what care I for my house and my land?
What care I for my money-O?
What care I for my newly -wedded lord?
Im off with the raggle-taggle gypsies-O
