| Description |
English: Romany Caravan on Horkstow Road A sight seldom seen nowadays and brought to mind the old song:
There were three gypsies a come to my door And downstairs ran this 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 She's gone with the raggle taggle gypsies, O! It was late last night, when my lord came home Enquiring for his a-lady, O! The servants said, on every hand She's gone with the raggle taggle gypsies, O! O saddle to me my milk-white steed Go and fetch me my pony, O! That I may ride and seek my bride Who is gone with the raggle taggle gypsies, O! O he rode high and he rode low He rode through woods and copses too Until he came to an open field And there he espied his a-lady, O! What makes you leave your house and land? What makes you leave your money, O? What makes you leave your new wedded lord? To go with the raggle taggle gypsies, O! What care I for my house and my land? What care I for my money, O? What care I for my new wedded lord? I'm off with the raggle taggle gypsies, O! Last night you slept on a goose-feather bed With the sheet turned down so bravely, O! And to-night you'll sleep in a cold open field Along with the raggle taggle gypsies, O! What care I for a goose-feather bed? With the sheet turned down so bravely, O! For to-night I shall sleep in a cold open field Along with the raggle taggle gypsies, O! |
