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.
Chorus:
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-doo-dah-day
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-day-dee
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
She left her own true lover
She left her family and her estate
To follow her gypsy rover
Chorus:
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-doo-dah-day
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-day-dee
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady.
Her father saddled his fastest steed
And ranged the valley over
He sought his daughter at great speed
And her whistling gypsy rover
At last he came to a mansion fine
Down by the River Clady
And there was music and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady.
Chorus:
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-doo-dah-day
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-day-dee
He whistled and he sang 'til 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 here I'll stay 'til my dying day
With my whistling gypsy rover
Chorus:
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-doo-dah-day
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-day-dee
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady.
Chorus:
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-doo-dah-day
Auh-de-doo-auh-de-day-dee
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady...
