| 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
|
| Ardy-doo-ardy-doo-ar-day
|
| Ardy-doo-ardy-day-dee
|
| He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
|
| And he won the heart of a lady
|
| She left her father, his castle gate
|
| She left her own fond lover
|
| She left her servants and estate
|
| To follow the gypsy rover
|
| Ardy-doo-ardy-doo-dar-day
|
| Ardy-doo-ardy-day-dee
|
| He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
|
| And he won the heart of a lady
|
| Her father saddled up his steed
|
| Roamed the valleys all over
|
| Sought his daughter at great speed
|
| And the whistlin' gypsy rover
|
| Ardy-doo-ardy-doo-dar-day
|
| Ardy-doo-ardy-day-dee
|
| He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
|
| And he won the heart of a lady
|
| He came unto a mansion fine
|
| Down by the River Clady
|
| And there was music and there was wine
|
| For the gypsy and his lady
|
| Ardy-doo-ardy-doo-ar-day
|
| Ardy-doo-ardy-day-dee
|
| He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
|
| And he won the heart of a lady
|
| «He is no gypsy, my father!» |
| she said
|
| «But lord of these lands all over
|
| And I will stay 'til my dyin' day
|
| With my whistlin' gypsy rover!»
|
| Ardy-doo-ardy-doo-dar-day
|
| Ardy-doo-ardy-day-dee
|
| He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
|
| And he won the heart of a lady |
