Dubliners - Gypsy Rover Lyrics
A gypsy rover came over the hillDown through the valley so shady.He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rangAnd he won the heart of a lady.Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-dayAh-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-deeHe whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rangAnd he won the heart of a lady.She left her father's castle gate.She left her own fine lover.She left her servants and her stateTo follow her gypsy rover.She left behind her velvet gownAnd shoes of Spanish leatherThey whistled and they sang 'till the green woods rangAs they rode off togetherLast night, she slept on a goose feather bedWith silken sheets for coverTonight she'll sleep on the cold, cold groundBeside her gyspy loverHer father saddled up his fastest steadAnd roamed the valley all over.Sought his daughter at great speedAnd the whistlin' gypsy rover.He came at last to a mansion fineDown by the river Claydee.And there was music and there was wineFor the gypsy and his lady."He is no gypsy, my Father," she cried"but Lord of these lands all over.And I shall stay 'til my dying dayWith my whistlin' gypsy rover."
