The gypsy rover came over the hill Down through the valley so shady He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang And he won the heart of a lady Chorus: Adi-doo, adi-doo da day Adi-doo, adi-day dee He whistled and he sang 'til 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 servants and estate To follow the gypsy rover Her father settled up his fasted steed Roamed the valleys all over Sought his daughter at great speed And the whistling gypsy rover He came at last to a mansion fine Down by the river Clady 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 'til my dying day With my whistling gypsy rover'
