The Gypsy Rover went over the hill Down to the valley so shady He whistled and he sang as the green woods rang And he won the heart of a lady She left her father's castle fine She left her own true lover She left her servants and her estate To follow the gypsy rover Her father saddled his fastest steed He rode the valleys all over He sought his daughter at great speed And the whistling gypsy rover He's no gypsy my father said she But lord of the free lands all over And I will stay til my dying day With the whistling gypsy rover 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 Her father saddled up his fastest steed He roamed the valleys all over He sought his daughter at great speed And the whistling gypsy rover He came at last to a mansion fine Down by the river Clady And there was music and there was wine For gypsy and his lady The gypsy's no gypsy my father she said But lord of these lands all over And I will stay til my dying day With my whistling gypsy rover
