The Whistling Gypsy Lyrics
The Whistling Gypsy - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem
The gypsy rover came over the hill down through the
Valley so shady he whistled and
He sang till the green woods rang and
He won the heart of a lady
Ah dee du ah dee du da day ah dee du
Ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady she left her
Father's castle gate left her own fond lover
She left her servants and her estate to follow the gypsy rover
Ah dee du ah dee du da day ah dee du
Ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady her father saddled up
His fastest steed and roamed the valleys all over sought
His daughter at great speed and the whistlin' gypsy rover
Ah dee du ah dee du da day ah dee du
Ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang till the green woods
Rang and he won the heart of a lady
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
Ah dee du ah dee du da day ah dee du
Ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang till 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 till my dying day with the whistlin' gypsy rover
Ah dee du ah dee du da day ah dee du ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang till
And he won the heart of a lady
