Foster & Allen - The Gypsy Rover

The Gypsy Rover came over the hills

Down through the valleys so shady

He whistled and sang till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of the lady

Ah dee doo ah dee doo dah day

Ah dee doo ah de day dee

He whistled and sang till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of the 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

Ah dee doo ah dee doo dah day

Ah dee doo ah de day dee

He whistled and sang till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of the lady

Her father saddled up his fastest steed

He ranged the valleys all over

He sought his daughter at great speed

And the whistling gypsy rover

Ah dee doo ah dee doo dah day

Ah dee doo ah de day dee

He whistled and sang till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of the lady

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

Ah dee doo ah dee doo dah day

Ah dee doo ah de day dee

He whistled and sang till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of the lady

"He is no Gypsy, father dear

But Lord of these lands all over

I'm going to stay till my dying day

With my whistling Gypsy Rover"

Ah dee doo ah dee doo dah day

Ah dee doo ah de day dee

He whistled and sang till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of the lady
