Gypsy Rover Lyrics - Singles - Clancy Brothers

1. 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. 

Ah-de-do, ah-de-do-da-day, 

Ah-de-do, ah-de-da-day 

he whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang, 

And he won the heart of a lady. 

2. She left behind her velvet gown 

and shoes made out of spanish lether 

he whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang, 

To follow the gypsy rover.

3. Her father saddled up his fastest steed 

And roamed the valleys all over 

Sought his daughter at great speed 

And the whistling gypsy rover. 

4. 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.
