The Gypsy Rover came over the hill,
down through the valleys so shady.
He whisteled and he sang 'till the green woods rang,
and he won the heart of a lady.

Ah-dee-doo, ah-dee-doo-da-day.
Ah-dee-doo, ah-dee-day-dee.
He whisteled and he sang 'till the green woods rang,
and he won the heart of a lady

She left her father's castle gate.
She left her own true lover.
She left her servants, and her estate.
to follow the Gypsy Rover.

Ah-dee-doo, ah-dee-doo-da-day.
Ah-dee-doo, ah-dee-day-dee.
He whisteled and he sang 'till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.

Her father mounted his fastest steed,
and ranged the valley all over.
He searched for his daughter at great speed,
and her whistelin' Gypsy Rover.

Ah-dee-doo, ah-dee-doo-da-day.
Ah-dee-doo, ah-dee-day-dee.
He whisteled and he sang 'till the green woods rang,
and he won the heart of a lady.

At last he came to a mansion fine.
Down by the river Clady.
And there was music and there was wine,
for the Gypsy and his Lady.

Ah-dee-doo, ah-dee-doo-da-day.
Ah-dee-doo, ah-dee-day-dee.
He whisteled and he sang 'till the green woods rang.
And he won the heart of a lady.

"He's no Gypsy, my father," she said.
"But Lord of these lands all over.
And I'm gonna stay 'til my dyin' day
with my whistelin' Gypsy Rover.

Ah-dee-doo, ah-dee-doo-da-day.
Ah-dee-doo, ah-dee-day-dee.
He whisteled and he sang 'till the green woods rang.
And he won the heart of a lady.
