The Irish folk rock band The Waterboys recorded one of the most popular versions of The Raggle Taggle Gypsy in recent years on their album, Room To Roam. Here they are performing live at the Cambridge Folk Festival with special guest Sharon Shannon.

Planxty recorded what many people regard as the definitive version of The Raggle Taggle Gypsy. Here they perform the song live in 1973 with Christy Moore on vocals.

Christy Moore also recorded the song after leaving Planxty. Here is performing live on the Late, Late Show in Ireland.

The Chieftains recorded The Raggle Taggle Gypsy on their album, Further Down the Old Plank Road, ably assisted by Nickel Creek.

The Irish Descendants recorded this fine version.

This is Mad Dog Mcrea performing the song live in concert.

For a different take on the Raggle Taggle Gypsy, try this slower version by the brilliant English performers, Martin and Eliza Carthy with Norma Waterson.
