The Gypsy Rover came over the hill,
Down through the valley so sha-dy.
He whistled and he sang 'till the greenwoods rang,
And he won the Heart of A lady.
Ah-di-do, ah-di-do ah-dey,
Ah-di-do, ah-di dey-di,
He whistled and he sang 'till the greenwoods rang,
And he won the Heart of A lady.
verse 2
She left her father's castle gate,
She left her own true lo-ver,
She left her servants and her estate
To follow the Gypsy Rover.
verse 3
Her father saddled his fastest steed,
Roamed the valley all o-ver,
Sought his daughter at great speed,
And the whistling Gypsy Rover.
verse 4
He came at last to a mansion fine,
Down by the river Cal-yde,
And there was music and there was wine
For the Gypsy and his lady.
Verse 5
"He's no gypsy, my father," she said,
"But lord of the freelands all over,
And I will stay 'till my dying day
With my whistling Gypsy Rover.
