There were seven yellow gipsies all in a row,

As I went down to Stradbally.

And whom should I meet but my own wedded wife

All along with the Raggle Taggel Gipsies O.

Com saddle for me, my pretty fair maid,

Saddle for me my pony O.

For I wouldn’t give a kiss off a gipsy lassie’s lips

For all oul’ Squire Cash’s money O.

Last night I lay on a caold barn floor

With seven yellow gipsies to annoy me O.

But tonight I will lie on my own feather bed.

With my own yellow gipsy all beside me O.
