My life story. Lto spend the rest of my days as I left my only wedded lord, away to lie in those cold open fields, with that wraggle-taggle gypsy-o. He was lovely, but his mates used to keeo me awake all night with the wid dancing, fiddling, pipin, shrieking...
The bit that gets me is it's about the 15th(I think) earl of Lovelace and his bride, so everytime we sing it we remember the lovers time in the sun and that makes me smile.
You're being terribly one sided and unfair here. You are assuming that the woman was being abused and not being treated like a princess. It's all the Lord's fault. If the biddy was being suffocated, maybe it was because she was either mentally ill or because she had unrealistic expectations of what her life would be like. Maybe she was just being hormonal! Why must the Lord be always evil? Why can't the ungrateful jerk of a wife be evil?
People should not be allowed to listen to this music, it should be banned immediately, next thing people will stop working and will be up skipping across the floor and throwing funny shapes
It was 'the well below the valley' that hadn't been documented in 150 years. Not 'the raggle taggle gypsy' I think it was also known as 'the maid and the palmer'.
One of the best accordion & fiddle duets going on within a real musical band all playing and listening together as real musicians do, solid drummer!! Cheers for the upload
Fair play to her..they must've been good lookin chavies for her to leave her big house, goose feather bed and money.., for a life of tarmacking..palm reading and peg making. . Was her name Heather? ? As in lucky heather?

If you stand before this band you literally feel your own heart rising it almost becomes an out of body experience
Sharon Shannon i spotted
Planxtys version is 10 times better

Mike, trugarez dit !
This tears out me heart, time and time again. The anguish and the rage in the suffocating woman's lament. What care I for my goose feather bed?

It's allegedly about the earl of Lovelace in Scotland their end was tragic, I like to think every time it's sung it's a two fingers up to her husband.
Music from the heart and the soul
Bartley gorman is best most soulful version
Don't be forgetting the great Sharon Shannon.
Wonderful Sharon Shannon on squeezebox.
just the best ...what care I...
SOULJAHZ ROCKERZ
Amazing
The best from Planxty and the Pogues
he,s a scotsman singing an auld sots sang
The Waterboys do the best of the many versions of this well-loved and ancient old song, in my opinion. I love their emotion and sheer musicianship!
Have you heard the Planxty version?
The best version ever, no dispute!
The version of the raffle taggle gypsy that rocks the most, lads!
Love the singer's Scottish accent coming through.
Sharon Shannon.
anyone who gave a thumbs down should be named and shamed

Wouldn't call them a rock band. Celtic folk band
People should not be allowed to listen to this music, it should be banned immediately, next thing people will stop working and will be up skipping across the floor and throwing funny shapes
My favorite version of this song of unbridled realized lust
Sharon shannon! ace.
i still dance to this, but love lord of the dance also

rodsreel absolutely
Good song, but a strangely pedestrian version. It needs speeding up a bit.
David Heels AGREE WITH THAT
Strange how people hear things different, i think its very energetic. 2 against 1 though. What version(s) do you prefer?
A brilliant version if I may say....!!! Certainly not “ pedestrian “....😡
