Lyrics
Gypsy rover came over the hill
Down through the valley so shady
He whistled and he sang
Till the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
Ah-dee-doo ah-dee-doo dah-day
Ah-dee-doo ah-dee-day dee
He whistled and he sang
Till the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
She left her father's castle gate
She left her own fond lover
She left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover
Ah-dee-doo ah-dee-doo dah-day
Ah-dee-doo ah-dee-day dee
He whistled and he sang
Till the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
Her father saddled up his fastest steed
Roamed the valleys all over
Sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistling gypsy rover
Ah-dee-doo ah-dee-doo dah-day
Ah-dee-doo ah-dee-day dee
He whistled and he sang
Till the greenwoods 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 dah-day
Ah-dee-doo ah-dee-day dee
He whistled and he sang
Till the greenwoods 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 till my dying day
With my whistling gypsy rover"
Ah-dee-doo ah-dee-doo dah-day
Ah-dee-doo ah-dee-day dee
He whistled and he sang
Till the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
