G D G G
Gypsy rover came over the hill,
G Am G D
down through the valley so sha-dy.
G D G Em
He whistled and he sang 'til the green wood rang
G D C C G
and he won the heart of a la- dy.
Ah dee doo ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang 'til the green wood rang
and he won the heart of a lady
She left her father's castle gate.
Left her own fine lover.
Left her servants and her estate
to follow the gypsy rover.
(Chorus)
Her father saddled up his fastest steed.
Roamed the valley all over.
Sought his daughter at great speed,
and the whistling gypsy rover.
He came at last to a mansion fine,
down by the river Calaidee.
And there was music and there was wine
for the gypsy and his lady.
(Chorus)
"He's no gypsy, my father," she said,
"but lord of these lands all over.
And I will stay 'til my dying day
with the whistling gypsy rover."
(Chorus twice)
