The Gypsy Rover

The gypsy rover came over the hills
Down through the valleys so shady
He whistled and sang 'til the greenwoods 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 sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady

She left her father's castle gate
She left her fair young lover
She left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover

Ah-dee-doo, ah-dee-doo, da-day
Ah-dee-doo, ah-dee-day-dee
He whistled and sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady

Her father saddled up his fastest steed
He ranged the valleys all over
He 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 sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady

He came at last to a mansion fine
Down by the river Clyde
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 sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady

He is no gypsy, father dear
But lord of these lands all over
I'm going to 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 sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
