The Whistling Gypsy lyrics
by The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem
[Verse 1]
The Gypsy Rover come over the hills
Down through the valleys so shady
He whistled and he sang 'till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Chorus]
Ah dee doo ah dee doo dah day
Ah dee doo ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang ’till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 2]
She left her father's castle gate
She left her own fond lover
She left her servants and her state
To follow the Gypsy Rover
[Chorus]
Ah dee doo ah dee doo dah day
Ah dee doo ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang 'till thе green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 3]
Hеr father saddled up his fastest steed
Roamed the valleys all over
Sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistling Gypsy Rover
[Chorus]
Ah dee doo ah dee doo dah day
Ah dee doo ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang ’till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Ah dee doo ah dee doo dah day
Ah dee doo ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang 'till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 5]
"He is no Gypsy, my father," she said
"But Lord of the freeze lands all over
And I will stay 'till my dying day
With my whistling Gypsy Rover."
[Chorus]
Ah dee doo ah dee doo dah day
Ah dee doo ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang 'till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
