Intro: Am  Am  Am  Am  , Am  Am  Em  Em  , G  G  G  Am  , Am  G  Em  Am  (X2)

           Am                                                            Em  
There were three old gypsies came to our house door. They came brave and boldy-o
         G                               Am           Am            G           Em    Am  
And the one sang high and the other sang low. And the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o
 
          Am                                                   Em  
It was upstairs, downstairs the lady went. Put on her suit of leather-o
        G                           Am          Am             G            Em    Am  
And there was a cry from around the door. She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o

Am  Am  Am  Am  , Am  Am  Em  Em  , G  G  G  Am  , Am  G  Em  Am 

        Am                                                       Em  
It was late that night when the lord came in. Inquiring for his lady-o
        G                            Am            Am          G              Em    Am  
And the servant girl she says to the lord. "She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

        Am                                                     Em  
"Well, saddle for me my milk-white steed. My big horse is not speedy-o
    G                          Am            Am           G             Em    Am  
And I will ride till I seek my bride. She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

Am  Am  Am  Am  , Am  Am  Em  Em  , G  G  G  Am  , Am  G  Em  Am 

      Am                                                 Em  
Well, he rode east, and he rode west, He rode north and south also  
         G                   Am             Am            G        Em   Am  
Until he came to a wide-open field. It was there that he spied his lady-o
          Am                                                                  Em  
"Tell me, how could you leave your goosefeather bed, your blankets strewn so comely-o
 G                                    Am    Am       G              Em    Am  
How could you leave your newly-wedded lord, All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"

        Am                                                              Em  
"Well, what care I for my goose-feather bed, For my blankets strewn so comely-o?
  G                           Am           Am        G             Em     Am  
Tonight I lie in a wide-open field. In the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o"

Am  Am  Am  Am  , Am  Am  Em  Em  , G  G  G  Am  , Am  G  Em  Am 

          Am                                                                     Em  
"Tell me, how could you leave your house and your land, How could you leave your money-o
 G                                    Am   Am         G             Em    Am  
How could you leave your only wedded lord, All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"

        Am                                                          Em  
"Well, what care I for my house and my land, And what care I for my money-o?
     G                           Am                     
I'd rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips,
     Am           G             Em    Am  
I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o!"
