The gypsy rover came over the hill
Down through the valley so shady
He whistled and he sang till the greenwood rang
And he won the heart of a lady
Adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu
He whistled and he sang till the greenwood rang
And he won the heart of a lady
She left her father's castle gate
She left her fair young lover
And he won the heart of a lady
She left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover
Adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu
He whistled and he sang till the greenwood rang
And he won the heart of a lady
Her father settled up his fast esteem
And he won the heart of a lady
He roamed the valley all over
He sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistling gypsy rover
Let me hear you now
Adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu
He whistled and he sang till the greenwood rang
And he won the heart of a lady
He came to the castle gate
He came at last to a castle fine
Down by the river Claydie
And there was music and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady
Adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu
He whistled and he sang till the greenwood rang
And he won the heart of a lady
She said he is no gypsy father
She said he's the lord of these lands all over
I'm going to stay till my dying day
With my whistling gypsy rover
Adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu
He whistled and he sang till the greenwood rang

And he won the heart of a lady
Adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu
He whistled and he sang till the greenwood rang
And he won the heart of a lady
And he won the heart of a lady
Adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu, adidu
