The Whistling Gypsy Songtext
von The Irish Rovers

The Gypsy Rover came over the hill
down through the valley so shady
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
and he won the heart of a lady

Ah De Do Ah De Do Da Day, Ah De Do Ah De A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
and he won the heart of a lady

She left her home her castle great
she left her fair young lover
she left her servants and her estate
to follow the Gypsy Rover

Ah De Do Ah De Do Da Day, Ah De Do Ah De A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
and he won the heart of a lady


Her father saddled up his fastest steed
roamed the valleys all over
sought his daughter at great speed
and the whistlin′ Gypsy Rover

Ah De Do Ah De Do Da Day, Ah De Do Ah De A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
and he won the heart of a lady

He came unto a mansion fine
down by the river so shady
and there was music and there was wine
for the Gypsy and his lady

Ah De Do Ah De Do Da Day, Ah De Do Ah De A
He whistled and he sang till 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 till my dying day
with my whistlin' Gypsy Rover"

Ah De Do Ah De Do Da Day, Ah De Do Ah De A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
and he won the heart of a lady
