|
The gypsy rover came over the hill. Down through the valley so shady.
|
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang and he won the heart of a lady.
|
|
Chorus:
|
Ah dee du, ah dee du da day. Ah dee du, ah dee day dee.
|
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang and he won the heart of a lady.
|
|
She left her father's castle gate. Left her own fond lover.
|
Left her servants and her estate to follow the gypsy rover.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Her father saddled his fastest steed. Searched these valleys all over.
|
Seeking his daughter at great speed and the whistlin' gypsy rover.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
At last he came to a castle gate along the river Claydee,
|
And there was music and there was wine for the gypsy and his lady
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
"He is no gypsy, my father," she said. "But lord of these lands all over.
|
And I will stay till my dying day with the whistlin' gypsy rover.
|
|
Ah dee du, ah dee du da day. Ah dee du, ah dee day dee.
|
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang, till the green woods rang, till the green woods rang,
|
And he won the heart of a lady.
