RAGGLE TAGGLE GIPSIES O


They came to town, they danced like clowns
their girls were dressed in long white gowns
with plenty of money and smiles of honey
With the raggle taggle gipsies o

With song and dance so sweet it entrances
Curses were mixed with honey like glances
Shutters were downed as they pranced through the town
With the raggle taggle gipsies o

The gipsy girl was fair and sweet
Had bell’s and charms upon her feet
She danced before him so swift and so light,
Love befell him that fateful night
With the raggle taggle gispies o

They played so dark, they played so sweet
Their music fills the air with exotic heat
They sang of love and slow burning kisses
Of thing that come alive when a heart beat misses
With the raggle taggle gipsies o

To dark ravines she took him down
The stickleback cried as the sun goes down
Mermaids will drown as the ships go down
With the raggle taggle gipsies o
