"Raggle-taggle Gypsy-o" was first referenced in S&A, while they were preparing for the move to Wildcat, and goes something like:
One of the Swallows said they'd use rugs instead of mattresses, like Don't Care in the song. Mother asked "What happened to Don't Care". "Came to a bad end" (Roger?). "A cold is a bad end when you are on a desert island" said mother. I think this led into a discussion of the ship's medicine chest and anyone getting sick having to come home.
