The Gypsy Rover

Lyrics

[Verse 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] She left her father, his castle gate She left her own fond lover She left her servants and estate To follow the gypsy rover [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Her father saddled up his steed Roamed the valleys all over Sought his daughter at great speed And the whistlin' gypsy rover [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 5] "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!" [Chorus] 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
