Chad Mitchell Trio - The Whistling Gypsy lyrics

The Gypsy Rover come over the hill Down to the valley so shady He whistled and he sang Till the green woods rang And he won the heart of a lady 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 She left her own fond lover She left her servant and her estate To follow the Gypsy Rover A dee do a dee do a day A dee do a 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 He roamed the valleys all over He sought his daughter at great speed And the whistling Gypsy Rover A dee do a dee do a day A dee do a dee day dee He whistled and he sang Till the green woods rang And he won the heart of a lady He rode till he came to a mansion fine Down by the river Claydee And there was music And there was wine For the Gypsy and his 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 whistling Gypsy Rover A dee do a dee do a day A dee do a dee day dee He whistled and he sang Till the green woods rang And he won the heart of a lady
