Lyrics

Gypsy rover, come over the hill, down through the valley so shady
 He whistled and he sang til the green woods rang and he won the heart of a lady
 Ah dee doo ah dee doo da day, ah dee doo ah dee day dee
 He whistled and he sang til the green woods rang
 And he won the heart of a lady
 She left her fathers castle gate, she left her own fine lover
 She left her servants and her state, to follow the gypsy rover
 Ah dee doo ah dee doo da day, ah dee doo ah dee day dee
 He whistled and he sang til the green woods rang
 And he won the heart of a lady
 Her father saddled up his fastest stead, roamed the valleys all over
 Sought his daughter at great speed and the whistling gypsy rover
 Ah dee doo ah dee doo da day, ah dee doo ah dee day dee
 He whistled and he sang til the green woods rang
 And he won the heart of a lady
 He came at last to a mansion fine, down by the river Clady
 And there was music and there was wine, for the gypsy and his lady
 Ah dee doo ah dee doo da day, ah dee doo ah dee day dee
 He whistled and he sang til the green woods rang
 And he won the heart of a lady
 He is no gypsy, my father, she said, but lord of these lands all over
 And I will stay til my dying day, with my whistling gypsy rover
 Ah dee doo ah dee doo da day, ah dee doo ah dee day dee
 He whistled and he sang til the green woods rang
 And he won the heart of a lady
