The Gypsy Rover

[Verse 1]
The gypsy rover came over the hill
And 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 di doo ah di doo dah day
Ah di doo ah di day di
He whistled and he sang
Till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady

[Verse 2]
She left her father's castle gate
She left her own fond lover
She left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover

[Chorus]
Ah di doo ah di doo dah day
Ah di doo ah di day di
He whistled and he sang
Till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 3]
Her father he saddled up his fastest steed
And he roamed the valleys all over
He sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistling gypsy rover

[Chorus]
Ah di doo ah di doo dah day
Ah di doo ah di day di
He whistled and he sang
Till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady

[Verse 4]
He came at last to a mansion fine
Down by the river chluaidh
And there was music, and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady

[Chorus]
Ah di doo ah di doo dah day
Ah di doo ah di day di
He whistled and he sang
Till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 5]
"Well he’s no gypsy, my father," she said
But lord of these lands all over
And I will stay till me dying day
With my whistling gypsy rover

[Chorus]
Ah di doo ah di doo dah day
Ah di doo ah di day di
He whistled and he sang
Till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
