[Verse]
E B E B
The gypsy rover came over the hill
E B E B
Down through the valley so shady
E B E A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
E A E A B
And he won the heart of a lady...
[Chorus]
E B E B
Ah dee do, ah dee do da day
E B E B
Ah dee do, ah dee day dee
E B E A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
E A E A B
And he won the heart of a lady...
[Verse]
E B E B
She left her father's castle gate
E B E B
Left her own fond lover
E A E A
Left her servants and her estate
E A E A B
To follow the gypsy rover...
[Chorus]
E B E B
Ah dee do, ah dee do da day
E B E B
Ah dee do, ah dee day dee
E B E A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
E A E A B
And he won the heart of a lady...
[Verse]
E B E B
Her father saddled his fastest steed
E B E B
Searched these valleys all over
E A E A
Seeking his daughter at great speed
E A E A B
And the whistlin' gypsy rover..
[Verse]
E B E B
At last he came to the castle gate
E B E B
Along the river Claydee
E A E A
And there was music and there was wine
E A E A B
For the gypsy and his lady...
[Chorus]
E B E B
Ah dee do, ah dee do da day
E B E B
Ah dee do, ah dee day dee
E B E A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
E A E A B
And he won the heart of a lady...
[Verse]
E B E B
"He is no gypsy, my father," she said
E B E B
"But a lord of these lands all over
E A E A
And I will stay till my dying day
E A E A B
With the whistlin' gypsy rover...
[Chorus]
E B E B
Ah dee do, ah dee do da day
E B E B
Ah dee do, ah dee day dee
E B E A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
E A
Till the green woods rang
E A
Till the green woods rang
E A E A B
And he won the heart of a lady...
