The whistling gypsy came over the hill
Down to 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
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
She left her father's castle gates
She left her own fond lover
She left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover
Ah dee doo, ah dee doo dah day
Ah dee doo, ah dee day
He whistled and he sang 'til 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 over
With him I'll stay 'til my dying day
And follow the gypsy rover"
Ah dee doo, ah dee doo dah day
Ah dee doo, ah dee day
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
The whistling gypsy came over the hill
Down to 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
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
