Whistling Gypsy - The Clancy Brothers

The gypsy rover came over the hill

Down through the valley so shady

He whistled and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang

And he won the heart of a lady

Ah-de-do ah-de-do-da-day

Ah-de-do ah-de-da-ay

He whistled and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang

And he won the heart of a lady

She left her father's castle gates

She left her own fine lover

She left her servants and her state

To follow the gypsy rover

Ah-de-do ah-de-do-da-day

Ah-de-do ah-de-da-ay

He whistled and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang

And he won the heart of a lady

Her father saddled up his fastest steed

And roamed the valleys all over

Sought his daughter at great speed

And the whistling gypsy rover

Ah-de-do ah-de-do-da-day

Ah-de-do ah-de-da-ay

He whistled and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang

And he won the heart of a lady

He came at last to a mansion fine

Down by the river Claydee

And there was music and there was wine

For the gypsy and his lady

He is no gypsy my father she said

But lord of these lands all over

And I will stay 'til my dying day

With my whistling gypsy rover

Ah-de-do ah-de-do-da-day

Ah-de-do ah-de-da-ay

He whistled and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang

And he won the heart of a lady
