    Hi Folks

    This video is the first time I have recorded a song with a mic and guitar amp.

    I filmed this yesterday at a friends house ,we were planning to go busking but the weather was pretty bad so we stayed in nd tried recording.

    I got this video for a song called "The Raggle Taggle Gypsy" its an old Scottish boarder ballad from the mid 1700.
    Kids would have sang the lyrics as a sort of nursery rhyme,Im not sure exactly when the melody was added.

    The song tells the story of a noblewoman who decides to run of with a band of traveling gypsy musicians.
    Forsaking her lonely comfortable life for a life on the road.

    "Raggle Taggle Gypsy"

    There were three auld gypsies came to our hall door
    They came brave and boldly-o
    And one sang high and the other sang low
    And the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o

    It was upstairs, downstairs the lady went
    Put on her suit of leather-o
    It was the cry all around her door
    "She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

    It was late that night when the lord came in
    Enquiring for his lady
    And the servant girl's reply to him was
    "She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

    "Then saddle for me my milk-white steed
    Me big horse is not speedy-o
    And I will ride and I'll seek me bride
    She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

    He rode east and he rode west
    He rode north and south also
    And when he came to the wide open field
    It was there that he spied his lady-o

    "Why did you leave your house and your land
    Why did you leave your money-o?
    Why did you leave your only wedded lord
    All for the raggle taggle gypsy-o?"

    " what do I care for me house and me land?
    What do I care for money-o?
    what do I care for me only wedded lord?
    I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

    "It was there last night you'd a goose feather bed
    Blankets drawn so comely-o
    But tonight you lie in a wide open field
    In the arms of the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

    "what do I care for me goose feather bed?
    With blankets strewn so comely - o?
    When tonight I lie in a wide open field in the arms
    of me raggle taggle gypsy-o"
