Raggle Taggle Gypsy Meaning

[There were three auld 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 it was the cry all around her 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
And the servant girl’s reply to him was;
“She’s away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o”

“Then saddle for me my milk-white steed
Me big horse is not speedy-o
And I will ride and I’ll seek me bride
She’s away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o”

He rode east and he rode west
He rode north and south also
And when he rode to the wide open field
It was there that he spied his lady-o

“Arra, why did you leave your house and your land
Why did you leave your money-o?
Why did you leave your only wedded lord
All for the raggle taggle gypsy-o?”
, “Yerra what do I care for me house and me land?
What do I care for money-o?
What do I care for me only wedded lord?
I’m away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o”

“It was there last night you’d a goose feather bed
Blankets drawn so comely-o
But tonight you lie in a wide open field
In the arms of the raggle taggle gypsy-o”

“Yerra, what do I care for me goose feather bed?
Yerra, what do I care for blankets-o?
What do I care for me only wedded lord?
I’m away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o”

“Oh, for you rode east when I rode west
You rode high and I rode low
I’d rather have a kiss of the yellow gypsy’s lips
Than all the cash and money-o”]
