Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The whistling gypsy came over the hill
Down to the valley so shady
He whistled and sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Chorus]
Ah-dee-do, ah-dee-do-da-day
Ah-dee-do, ah-dee-day-doe
He whistled and sang 'til the greenwoods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 2]
She left her father's castle bride
She left her old fond lover
She left her servants and her estates
To follow a gypsy rover
[Chorus]
Ah-dee-do, ah-dee-do-da-day
Ah-dee-do, ah-dee-day-doe
She left her servants and her estates
To follow a gypsy rover
[Verse 3]
"He is no gypsy, my father", she said
"But lord of all these lands over
With him I'll stay 'til my dying day
And follow a gypsy rover"
[Chorus]
Ah-dee-do, ah-dee-do-da-day
Ah-dee-do, ah-dee-day-doe
With him I'll stay 'til my dying day
And follow a gypsy rover
Ah-dee-do, ah-dee-do-da-day
Ah-dee-do, ah-dee-day-doe
With him I'll stay 'til my dying day
I'll follow a gypsy rover
