Gypsy Rover

Whistling Gypsy came over the hill

Down thru the valley so shady

He whistled and he sang

Till the greenwood rang

And he won the heart of a lady

A dee do a dee do die day

A dee do a dee day-o

He whistled and he sang

Till the greenwood 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

A dee do a dee do die day

A dee do a dee day-o

She left her servants

And her estate

To follow the gypsy rover

She left behind her velvet gown

And shoes of Spanish leather

They whistled and they sang

Till the greenwood rang

As they rode off together

A dee do a dee do die day

A dee do a dee day-o

They whistled and they sang

Till the greenwood rang

As they rode off together

Last night she slept on a goose feather bed

With silken sheets for cover

Tonight she sleeps

On the cold cold ground

Beside her gypsy lover

A dee do a dee do die day

A dee do a dee day-o

Tonight she sleeps

On the cold cold ground

Beside her gypsy lover

Her father saddled up his fastest steed

And roamed the valleys all over

Sought his daughter

At great speed

And the whistling gypsy rover

A dee do a dee do die day

A dee do a dee day-o

Sought his daughter

At great speed

And the whistling gypsy rover

He came at last to a mansion fine

Down by the river Claydee

And there was music

And there was wine

For the gypsy and his lady

A dee do a dee do die day

A dee do a dee day-o

And there was music

And there was wine

For the gypsy and his lady

"He is no gypsy my father" she said

"But lord of these lands all over

And I shall stay

'til my dying day

With my whistling gypsy rover"

A dee do a dee do die day

A dee do a dee day-o

And I shall stay

'til my dying day

With my whistling gypsy rover"
