Ah-di-do, ah-di-do ah-dey, |

He whistled and he sang 'till the greenwoods 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
Her father saddled 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 Calyde, |
|
|
And there was music and there was wine |
|
|
For the Gypsy and his lady. |
|
|
|
|
|
"He's no gypsy, my father," she said, |
|
|
"But lord of the freelands all over, |
|
|
And I will stay 'till my dying day |
|
|
With my whistling Gypsy Rover. |
