The Whistling Gypsy
Chorus:
Ah dee do ah dee do da day, ah dee do ah dee day dee,
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
The whistling gypsy came over the hill
Down through the valleys so shady,
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
Chorus:
She left her father's castle gate,
Left her own true lover,
Left her servants and her estate,
To follow the gypsy rover.
Chorus:
Her father saddled his fastest steed,
He ranged the valley all over,
He searched for his daughter at great speed,
And her whistling gypsy rover.
Chorus:
At last he came to a mansion fine
Down by the river Clady,
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.
I'm going to stay till my dying day
With my whistling gypsy rover."
