The Gypsy Rover Songtext

von Irish Rovers

The gypsy rover came over the hill,
And down through the valley so shady;
He whistled and he sang,
Till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
[Chorus]
Ah di doo ah di doo dah day,
Ah di doo ah de da-a-y
He whistled and he sang,
Till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
She left her father's castle gate;
She left her own fond lover,
She left her servants and her estate,
To follow the gypsy rover.
[Chorus]
Her father he saddled up his fastest steed,
And he roamed the valleys all over,
He sought his daughter at great speed,
And the whistling gypsy rover.
[Chorus]
He came at last to a mansion fine,
Down by the river clade,
And there was music, and there was wine,
For the gypsy and his lady.
[Chorus]
Well he's no gypsy my father she said,
But lord of these lands all over,
And i will stay till me dying day,
With my whistling gypsy rover.
[Chorus]
