Gypsy Rover lyrics
by Scott McKenzie
[Chorus]
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee, hey!
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady, once more here we go, well
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day, sing it out
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee, hey!
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 1]
The whistlin' gypsy come over the hill
Down through the valley so shady
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang
He won the heart of a lady, sing!
[Chorus]
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee, hey!
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 2]
She left her father's castle gate
She left her own true lover
She left her servants and her estate
Follow the whistlin' rover, sing!
[Chorus]
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee, hey!
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 3]
Her father saddled up his fastest steed
He roamed the valley all over
Sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistlin' gypsy rover
[Chorus]
Well, it's ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee, hey!
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 4]
At last they come to a mansion fine
'Twas down by the River Clydee
There was music, and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady, hey!
[Chorus]
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee, hey!
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 5]
"He is no gypsy, my Father," she said
"He's lord of the lands all over
And I shall stay 'til my dyin' day
With my whistlin' rover," sing it out
[Chorus]
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee, hey!
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady, one more time, woo!
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee, hey!
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
(Great)
(Thank you)
(Calm down)
