Ah-de-do, ah-de-do-da-day,
Ah-de-do, ah-de-da-dee
He whistled and he sang
'til the greenwoods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.

She left her father's castle gates
She left her own true lover
She left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover.

Chorus

Her father mounted his fastest steed,
And roamed the valleys all over ,
And sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistling gypsy rover.

Chorus

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.

Chorus

"He is no gypsy, my father" she said
"But lord of these lands all over,
And I shall stay 'til my dying day
With my whistling gypsy rover."

Chorus
