Gypsy Rover Lyrics

The whistling gypsy came over the hill,
Down to the valley so shady,
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
Ah de doo, ah de doo dah day,
Ah de doo, ah de 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 gates,
She left her own fond lover,
She left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover

Ah de doo, ah de doo dah day,
Ah de doo, ah de day dee,
He whistled and he sang till 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 over,
With him I'll stay till my dying day,
And follow the gypsy rover."

Ah de doo, ah de doo dah day,
Ah de doo, ah de day dee,
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
The whistling gypsy came over the hill,
Down to the valley so shady,
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.

Ah de doo, ah de doo dah day,
Ah de doo, ah de day dee,
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
