Whistling Gypsy

The gypsy rover came over the hill

Down through the valley so shady

He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of a lady

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day

Ah dee du, ah dee 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 gate

Left her own fond lover, left her servants

And her estate

To follow the gypsy rover

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day

Ah dee du, ah dee day dee

He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of a lady

Her father saddled his fastest steed

Searched these valleys all over

Seeking his daughter at great speed

And the whistlin' gypsy rover

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day

Ah dee du, ah dee day dee

He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of a lady

At last he came to a castle gate

Along the river Claydee

And there was music and there was wine

For the gypsy and his lady

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day

Ah dee du, ah dee 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 all over

And I will stay till my dying day

With the whistlin' gypsy rover

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day

Ah dee du, ah dee day dee

He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang

Till the green woods rang, till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of a lady
