[Gm] There were three old gypsies came to our house door.
They [C] came brave and [Dm] bore the heel.
The one sang high and the other [Gm] sang low.
And the other sang a rack-a-pack of gypsy mule.
It was upstairs and downstairs that lady went.
Put on her [Dm] suit of the leather robe.
And there [G] was a cry from around [Gm] the door.
She's okay with a rack-a-pack of gypsy [Dm] mule.
[Gm] It was late that night that the Lord came in.
The choir went [Dm] for his lady, yo.
And the servant girl, she says [Gm] to the Lord,
She's okay with a rack-a-pack of gypsy mule.
Well, saddle for me my milk-white steed.
[C] My pig-horse is not [Dm] speedy, yo.
I will ride and I'll seek my [Gm] bride.

How could you leave [Gm] your number-wetted Lord out
For a rack-a-pack of gypsy, yo?
Well, what do I care for my goose-feathered bed
And for my blanket [Dm]-strewn comb, me, yo?
Tonight I'll lie in the wide [Gm] open field with me on
To a rack-a-pack of gypsy.
