"The Wraggle Taggle Gypsies" (Child 200) is a Scottish border ballad that has spread throughout Britain, Ireland and North America. The earliest text may be "The Gypsy Loddy", published in the Roxburghe Ballads (1720), and Allan Ramsay's Tea-Table Miscellany (1740), which included the ballad as "The Gypsy Johnny Faa". It was printed in Sharpe's One Hundred English Folksongs. An American version is known as "Gypsy Davey" or "Blackjack Davy". A modern composed version is "The Gypsy Rover". The tunes are all different but the story is the same. There have been numerous recordings of "The Wraggle Taggle Gypsies", "Gypsy Davey", "Blackjack Davey" and "The Gypsy Rover" by Woody Guthrie, The Carter Family, Pete Seeger, Peggy Seeger, The New Lost City Ramblers, Jean Ritchie, The Chieftans and many others. I learned "The Wraggle Taggle Gypsies" from Michael Cooney.
