An English Lord came home one night
Inquiring for his Lady.
The servants said on every hand,
She's gone with the Gypsy Laddie.
Inquiring for his Lady.
The servants said on every hand,
She's gone with the Gypsy Laddie.
Jean Ritchie, Appalachian singer
Go saddle up my milk white steed,
Go saddle me up my brownie,
And I will ride both night and day
Go saddle up my milk white steed,
Go saddle me up my brownie,
And I will ride both night and day
'Til I overtake my bonnie.
Oh, he rode East and he rode West,
And at last he found her.
She was lying on the green, green grass
Oh, he rode East and he rode West,
And at last he found her.
She was lying on the green, green grass
And the gypsy's arms all around her.
Oh, how can you leave your house and land?
How can you leave your money?
How can you leave your rich, young Lord
To be a gypsy's bonnie?
Oh, how can you leave your house and land?
How can you leave your money?
How can you leave your rich, young Lord
To be a gypsy's bonnie?

के बारे में"The Raggle Taggle Gypsy" (Roud 1, Child 200), is a traditional folk song that originated as a Scottish border ballad, and has been popular throughout Britain, Ireland and North America. It concerns a rich lady who runs off to join the gypsies (or one gypsy). Common alternative names are "Gypsy Davy", "The Raggle Taggle Gypsies O", "The Gypsy Laddie(s)", "Black Jack David" (or "Davy") and "Seven Yellow Gypsies".
The earliest text may be "The Gypsy Loddy", published in the Roxburghe Ballads with an assigned date of 1720. The first two verses of this version are as follows:
There was seven gypsies all in a gang,
They were brisk and bonny, O;
They rode 'til they came to the Earl of Casstle's house,
And there they sang most sweetly, O.
The Earl of Castle's lady came down,
With the waiting-maid beside her;
As soon as her fair face they saw,
They called their grandmother over.
Robert Burns used the song in his Reliques of Robert Burns; consisting chiefly of original letters, poems, and critical observations on Scottish songs (1808). Due to the Romanichal origins of the main protagonist Davie or Johnny Faa, the ballad was translated into Anglo-Romany in 1890 by the Gypsy Lore Society.
