The Whistling Gypsy (Live)

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
