The Gypsy Rover

The gypsy rover came over the hill
Down through the valley so shady
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
Ardy-doo-ardy-doo-ar-day
Ardy-doo-ardy-day-dee
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
She left her father, his castle gate
She left her own fond lover
She left her servants and estate
To follow the gypsy rover
Ardy-doo-ardy-doo-dar-day
Ardy-doo-ardy-day-dee
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
Her father saddled up his steed
Roamed the valleys all over
Sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistlin' gypsy rover
Ardy-doo-ardy-doo-dar-day
Ardy-doo-ardy-day-dee
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
He came unto a mansion fine
Down by the River Clady
And there was music and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady
Ardy-doo-ardy-doo-ar-day
Ardy-doo-ardy-day-dee
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
«He is no gypsy, my father!» she said
«But lord of these lands all over
And I will stay 'til my dyin' day
With my whistlin' gypsy rover!»
Ardy-doo-ardy-doo-dar-day
Ardy-doo-ardy-day-dee
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
