verse 1 The Gypsy Rover came over the hill, Down through the valley so sha-dy. He whistled and he sang 'till the greenwoods rang, And he won the Heart of A lady. Ah-di-do, ah-di-do ah-dey, Ah-di-do, ah-di dey-di, He whistled and he sang 'till the greenwoods rang, And he won the Heart of A lady. verse 2 She left her father's castle gate, She left her own true lo-ver, She left her servants and her estate To follow the Gypsy Rover. verse 3 Her father saddled his fastest steed, Roamed the valley all o-ver, Sought his daughter at great speed, And the whistling Gypsy Rover. verse 4 He came at last to a mansion fine, Down by the river Cal-yde, And there was music and there was wine For the Gypsy and his lady. Verse 5 "He's no gypsy, my father," she said, "But lord of the freelands all over, And I will stay 'till my dying day With my whistling Gypsy Rover.
