Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Ah, dee-do, ah, dee-do, dah, day
Ah, dee-do, ah, dee-day
He whistled and he sang
Till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 3]
She left her father's castle gate
She left her old found lover
She left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover
[Verse 4]
Ah, dee-do, ah, dee-do, dah, day
Ah, dee-do, ah, dee-day
He whistled and he sang
Till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 5]
He is no gypsy, my father, she said
But lord of these lands over
With him, I'll stay till my dyin' day
And follow the gypsy rover
[Verse 6]
Ah, dee-do, ah, dee-do, dah, day
Ah, dee-do, ah, dee-day
He whistled and he sang
Till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 7]
The whistling gypsy came over the hill
Down to the valley, so shady
He whistled and he sang
Till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 8]
Ah, dee-do, ah, dee-do, dah, day
Ah, dee-do, ah, dee-day
He whistled and he sang
Till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
