Whistlin' Gypsy Rover
Chorus
Ah-dee-do, ah-dee-do-da-day
Ah-dee-do, ah-dee-day-dee
He whistled and he sang 'till the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of the lady
The gypsy rover came over the hill
Down by the river so shady
He whistled and he sang 'till the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of the lady
Chorus
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
Chorus
Her father saddled his fastest steed
He searched the valleys all over
He sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistlin' gypsy rover
Chorus
Last night she slept on a goose feather bed
Under her quilts and cover
To night she'll sleep on the cold, cold ground
At the side of her gypsy rover
Chorus
At last they came to a castle fine
Down by the River Clady
And there was music and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady
Chorus
He is no gypsy my father she said
But laird of these lands all over
And I shall stay 'till my dying day
With my whistlin' gypsy rover
Chorus
