The Whistling Gypsy

Ah di doo ah di doo ah day

Ah di doo ah de 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 to the valley so shady

He whistled and sang

Till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of a lady

Ah di doo ah di doo ah day

Ah di doo ah de day-dee

He whistled and he sang

Till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of a lady

She left her father's castle gates

She left her own fair young lover

She left her servants and her estate

Just follow the gypsy rover

Her father saddled up his fastest steed

He roamed the valley all over

He sought his daughter at great speed

and the whistlin' gypsy rover

Ah di doo ah di doo ah day

Ah di doo ah de 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

There was whiskey and there was wine

For the gypsy and his lady

He is no gypsy father dear

But lord of these lands all over

And I’m going to stay till me dying day

With me whistling gypsy rover

Ah di doo ah di doo ah day

Ah di doo ah de day-dee

He whistled and he sang

Till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of a lady

Ah di doo ah di doo ah day

Ah di doo ah de day-dee

He whistled and he sang

Till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of a lady
