Lyrics
Whistling Gypsy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The gypsy rover came over the hill. down through the valley so
Shady.
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang and he won the
Heart of a lady.
Chorus:
Ah dee du, ah dee du da day. ah dee du, ah dee day dee.
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang and he won the
Heart of a lady.
She left her father's castle gate. left her own fond lover.
Left her servants and her estate to follow the gypsy rover.
(chorus)
Her father saddled his fastest steed. searched these valleys all
Over.
Seeking his daughter at great speed and the whistlin' gypsy
Rover.
(chorus)
At last he came to a castle gate along the river claydee,
And there was music and there was wine for the gypsy and his
Lady
(chorus)
"he is no gypsy, my father," she said. "but lord
Of these lands all over.
And i will stay till my dying day with the whistlin' gypsy
Rover.
Ah dee du, ah dee du da day. ah dee du, ah dee day dee.
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang, till the
Green woods rang, till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
