Lyrics Gypsy Rover The Gypsy Rover came over the hill Down to the valley so shady He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang And He won the heart of a lady Chorus: Singing Ah dee doo Ah dee doo da day Ah dee doo Ah dee day-ee He whistled and he sang Till the green woods rang And he won the heart of a Lady. She left her father’s castle gate She left her own dear mother She left her servants and estate To follow the Gypsy Rover Chorus Last night she slept on the Goosefeather bed With Silken Sheets for cover Tonight she’ll sleep on the cold cold ground Beside her Gypsy Lover Chorus Her Father climbed on his fastest steed He roamed the valley all over He sought his daughter at great speed And the whistling Gypsy Rover Chorus At last they came to the mansion fine Beside the River so shady 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 till my dying day With my whistling Gypsy Rover. Chorus
