Send "Raggle Taggle Gypsy" ringtone to your cell

There were three gypsies a come to my door

And down stairs ran this a-lady o.

One sang high and another sang low

And the other sang bonny bonny biscay o

Then she pulled off her silk finished gown

And put on hose of leather o

The ragged ragged rags about our door

And she's gone with the wraggle taggle gypsies o

It was late last night when my lord came home

Inquiring for his a-lady o

The servants said on every hand

She's gone with the wraggle-taggle gypsies o

O saddle to me my milk-white steed

And go and fetch me my pony o

That i may ride and seek my bride

Who's gone with the wraggle-taggle gypsies o

O he rode high and he rode low

He rode through wood and copses too

Until he came to a wide open field

And there he espied his a-lady o

What makes you leave you house and land?

What makes you leave you money o?

What makes you leave you new-wedded lord

To follow the wraggle-taggle gypsies o.

What care i for my house and land?

What care i for my moneyo?

What care i for my new-wedded lord

I'm off with the wraggle-taggle gypsies o!

"last night you slept on a goosefeather bed

With the sheet turned down so bravely o.

Tonight you'll sleep in a cold open field

Along with the wraggle-taggle gypsies o."

"what care i for a goose-feather bed

With the sheet turned down so bravely o.

For tonight i'll sleet in a cold open field

Along with the wraggle-taggle gypsies o.
