lyrics

THE WHISTLING GYPSY ROVER
Traditional Music & Lyrics
Arrangement: Heather Alexander

The whistling gypsy's come over the hill
Down by the river so shady
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
'Cause he'd won the heart of a lady!

HOW-DI-DO, HOW-DI-DO-DA-DAY
HOW-DI-DO, HOW-DI-DAY!
HE WHISTLED AND HE SANG
'TIL THE GREEN WOODS RANG
'CAUSE HE'D WON THE HEART OF A LADY!

She left her home by the castle gate
She left her own true lover
She left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover

Her father saddled up his fastest steed
Rode through the valley all over
Sought his daughter at greatest speed
And followed the gypsy rover

At last he came to a castle, fine
Down by the river Cladie
And there was music and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady

"He is no gypsy, my father" says she
"But Lord of these valleys all over!
And I will stay 'til my dying day
With my whistling gypsy rover!"
