The Whistling Gypsy
[Chorus]
The Gypsy Rover come over the hill
Down to the valley so shady
He whistled, and he sang
'Til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Chorus]
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm
He whistled, and he sang
'Til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 1]
She left her father's castle gate
She left her own fond lover
She left her servant and her estate
To follow the Gypsy Rover
[Chorus]
Ah dee doo wah dee doo wah day
Ah dee doo wah dee day dee
He whistled, and he sang
'Til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 2]
Her father saddled up his fastest steed
He roamed the valleys all over
He sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistlin' Gypsy Rover
[Chorus]
Ah dee doo wah dee doo wah day
Ah dee doo wah dee day dee
He whistled, and he sang
'Til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 3]
He rode 'til he came to a mansion fine
Down by the River Clyde
And there was music, and there was wine
For the Gypsy and his lady
[Verse 4]
"He is no gypsy, my father," she said
"But lord of these lands all over
And I will stay 'til my dyin' day
With the whistlin' Gypsy Rover"
[Chorus]
Ah dee doo wah dee doo wah day
Ah dee doo wah dee day dee
He whistled, and he sang
'Til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
