Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Gypsy Rover (The Whistling Gypsy)
CHORUS
Ah De Do Ah De Do Da Day, Ah De Do Ah De A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
and he won the heart of a lady
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 CHORUS
She left her home her castle great
she left her fair young lover
she left her servants and her estate
to follow the Gypsy Rover CHORUS
Her father saddled up his fastest steed
roamed the valleys all over
sought his daughter at great speed
and the whistlin' Gypsy Rover CHORUS
He came unto a mansion fine
down by the river so shady
and there was music and there was wine
for the Gypsy and his lady CHORUS
"He is no gypsy my father." she said,
"But Lord of these lands all over.
and I will stay till my dying day
with my whistlin' Gypsy Rover" CHORUS
**There are many varied versus of this song. I have no idea what is original
