| A 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-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day | 
| Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee | 
| He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang | 
| And he won the heart of a lady. | 
| She left her father’s castle gate. | 
| She left her own fine lover. | 
| She left her servants and her state | 
| To follow her gypsy rover. | 
| Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day | 
| Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-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 fastest stead | 
| And roamed the valley all over. | 
| Sought his daughter at great speed | 
| And the whistlin' gypsy rover. | 
| Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day | 
| Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee | 
| He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang | 
| And he won the heart of a lady. | 
| 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. | 
| «He is no gypsy, my Father,» she cried | 
| «but Lord of these lands all over. | 
| And I shall stay 'til my dying day | 
| With my whistlin' gypsy rover. | 
| " | 
| Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day | 
| Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee | 
| He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang | 
| And he won the heart of a lady. |
