Down through the valley so shady,
He whistled and he sang 'til 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-da-day
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
And shoes made out of spanish lether
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang,
To follow the gypsy rover.
And roamed the valleys all over
Sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistling gypsy rover.
Down by the river Claydee
And there was music and there was wine,
For the gypsy and his lady.
"But lord of these lands all over,
And I shall stay 'til my dying day
With my whistling gypsy rover."
