Whistling Gypsy Songtext
von The Limeliters

(Whistling)

The whistling gypsy came over the hill.
Down through the valley so shady.
He whistled and he sang till the green wood rang
And he won the heart of a lady.

Ah dee du, ah dee du dai day.
Ah dee du, ah dee day oh.
He whistled and he sang till the green wood rang
And he won the heart of a lady.

She left her father′s castle gate.
She left her fair young lover.
She left her servants and her state
To follow the gypsy rover.


Ah dee du, ah dee du dai day.
Ah dee du, ah dee day oh.
He whistled and he sang till the green wood rang
And he won the heart of a lady.

She left behind her velvet gown,
And shoes of spanish leather
They whistled and they sang till the green wood rang
As they rode off together.

(Whistling)

Last night she slept on a goose feather bed,
With silken sheets for cover
Tonight she sleeps on the cold cold ground,
Beside her gypsy lover

Ah dee du, ah dee du dai day.
Ah dee du, ah dee day oh.
He whistled and he sang till the green wood rang
And he won the heart of a lady.
He won the heart of a lady
He won the heart of a lady
