Biography:
The Waterboys is a British celtic band formed in 1983 by Scottish musician Mike Scott. Their songs, largely written by Scott, often contain literary references and are frequently concerned with spirituality. Both the group and its members' solo careers have received much praise from both rock and folk music critics, but The Waterboys as a band has never received the commercial success that some of its members (such as Ian McNabb, leader of The Icicle Works; Trevor Hutchinson, a founding member of Lúnasa; etc) have had independently.

There were three old gypsies came to our house door. They came brave and boldy-o
D Em Em D Bm Em
And the one sang high and the other sang low. And the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o
Em Bm
It was upstairs, downstairs the lady went. Put on her suit of leather-o
D Em Em D Bm Em
And there was a cry from around the door. She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Em Em Em Em , Em Em Bm Bm , D D D Em , Em D Bm Em
Em Bm
It was late that night when the lord came in. Inquiring for his lady-o
D Em Em D Bm Em
And the servant girl she says to the lord. "She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o"
Em Bm
"Well, saddle for me my milk-white steed. My big horse is not speedy-o
D Em Em D Bm Em
And I will ride till I seek my bride. She's away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o"
Em Em Em Em , Em Em Bm Bm , D D D Em , Em D Bm Em
Em Bm
Well, he rode east, and he rode west, He rode north and south also
D Em Em D Bm Em
Until he came to a wide-open field. It was there that he spied his lady-o
Em Bm
"Tell me, how could you leave your goosefeather bed, your blankets strewn so comely-o
D Em Em D Bm Em
How could you leave your newly-wedded lord, All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"
Em Bm
"Well, what care I for my goose-feather bed, For my blankets strewn so comely-o?
D Em Em D Bm Em
Tonight I lie in a wide-open field. In the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o"
Em Em Em Em , Em Em Bm Bm , D D D Em , Em D Bm Em
Em Bm
"Tell me, how could you leave your house and your land, How could you leave your money-o
D Em Em D Bm Em
How could you leave your only wedded lord, All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"
Em Bm
"Well, what care I for my house and my land, And what care I for my money-o?
D Em
I'd rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips,
Em D Bm Em
I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o!"
