A gypsy rover came over the hill, into the valley shady;

He whistled and he sang til the green wood rang,

And he won the heart of a la   -   dy. 
 
She left her father's castle gate, she left her own true lover; 
She left her servants and her estate 
To follow her gypsy rover.

Her father mounted his fastest steed, And searched the valley all over; He sought his daughter at great speed And the whistling gypsy rover. At last he came to a mansion fine, down by the river Claydee, And there was music and there was wine For the gypsy and his lady. Refrain: 'He is no gypsy, my father,' she cried, 'But Lord of these lands all over, And I shall stay til my dying day With my whistling gypsy rover.' Refrain:
