| 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… |
