The Whistling Gypsy

  ( The Gypsy Rover)

Below are the words to the Irish folk song "The Whistling Gypsy"

                  The whis-ling gyp-sy came o-ver the hill,

                      Down through the val-ley so sha-dy,

                 whist-led and he sang ' till the green wood rang.

                               he won the heart of a la----dy.

          REFRAIN:

Ah  dee  doo,  ah dee   doo  die day, Ah dee dooah dee day - dee,

         He whist-led and  he sang ' till the green wood rang,

                      And he won the heart of a la----dy.

  2.  She  left her father's castle gate, She left her fair young      lover,    She left her servants and her estate, To follow  the    gypsy    rover.                  

  3.She left behind velvet gowns, And shoes of Spanish leather,  They whistled and  they sang till the green wood   rang  As they    rode off together.          

4. Last night she slept on a goose-feather bed, With satin sheets  for to cover. Tonight she sleeps on the cold, cold  ground,    Besides her gypsy rover.
