The gypsy rover came over the hill,
Down through the valley so shady.
He whistled and sang till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady.
Chorus
La dee doo, la dee doo da day,
La dee doo, la dee day dee.
He whistled and sang till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
She left her father’s castle gate,
She left her fair young lover,
She left her servants and her state
To follow the gypsy rover.
(Chorus)
Her father saddled up his fastest,
Roamed the valleys all over,
Sought his daughter at great speed,
And the whistling gypsy rover.
(Chorus)
He came at last to a mansion fine,
Down by the river Clady,
And there was music and there was wine,
For the gypsy and his lady.
(Chorus)
“He is no gypsy, my father dear,
But lord of these lands all over.
And I will stay till my dying day,
With my whistling gypsy rover.”
(Chorus)
