THE WHISTLING GYPSY ROVER
(
Click here to listen to 'The Whistling Gypsy Rover'
)
The gypsy rover came over the hill
Down through the valley so shady
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
Adee-do, adee-do-da-day
Adee-do, adee-day
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
She left her father's castle gate
Left her own fine lover
Left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover
Adee-do, adee-do-da-day
Adee-do, adee-day
He whistled and he sang 'til 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
Adee-do, adee-do-da-day
Adee-do, adee-day
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
At last he came to the castle gate
Along the river Clady
And there was music and there was wine
Fory gypsy and his lady
Adee-do, adee-do-da-day
Adee-do, adee-day
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
He is no gypsy, my father said she
But a lord of all these lands all over
And I will stay 'til my dying day
With my whistlin' gypsy rover
Adee-do, adee-do-da-day
Adee-do, adee-day
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
