The version of the raffle taggle gypsy that rocks the most, lads!

I must agree that this is one of the better versions of this song that I have heard. It has a degree of soul and emotion the other version lack. it captures the meaning of the words. I'm not bashing the artists who perform this. Their versions have their own merits, but none of them quite capture the raw emotion like this.

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!

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?

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?

Mike Scott is almost like Mick Jagger but of folk music instead of rock and pop! What a brilliant version of this song. Love Sharon Shannon and the fiddle player..excellent stuff. Invokes ideas of an old time England which we will never ever get back.......

Perhaps that’s because it’s Celts sounding your ears hear Cornish folklore whereas I hear Highlands folklore and then you have the Irish Folklore it’s knees up kickass bone jangling drunken fabulous night for us all to let loose and become rebels of the night Celtic thunder 😂

I was taught this song 75 years ago when I was attending primary school in colonial Singapore. I am a Chinese . Singing was a school subject and and we learned many English and Scottish folk songs. Our music teacher was a non- English.

This song was recorded by Dublin folk song collector and folklorist Tom Munnelly (and also my Dad, incidentally) circa 1965 in Boyle in Co. Roscommon from an Irish Traveller named John 'Jacko' Reilly. Christy Moore and Planxty had some commercial success with it some years later as they did with 'The Well Below The Valley' and 'Lord Baker' which they also got from Reilly's singing. Prior to Jacko's rendition of 'The Well Below The Valley' there had been no documentation of it since 150 years previously in England 'The Bonny Green Tree' is an album of John's songs released on the Topic Label.

+Tara Munnelly I first heard this on an album (by a woman -- I've no idea who) my sister had when she was a freshman in college (1957-58), so I was in seventh grade. It was also included in Simon and Schuster's "Fireside Book of Folk Songs," first published in 1947. I have an original copy of that book, given to me by a friend's father. He was a professor of vocal music at Humboldt State, a small state university in far Northern California.

There are many variations of this song, including, "The Seven Yellow Gypsies;" "The Gypsie Laddie;" " Black Jack Dav(e)y;" and variant versions of each of these variations. The story is supposed to refer to an event in the lives of an Earl of Cassilis & his wife, Lady Jane Hamilton, who lived in the 1600s.

I am sorry, but he does not look like he would know what lying in a meadow with your love would be like. While their voices are fine and varied it does not have the passion that the Waterboys bring. I am surprised really as Celtic Thunder seem almost like a boy band. Waterboys are who you want to see in a smoky club singing this sone.

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?
