Lyrics for Gypsy Rover by Unknown:
| | | Artist: | Unknown |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Gypsy Rover | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 272 | | | | Lyrics: | GYPSY ROVER
1. The gypsy rover came over the hill
Down through the valley so
shady,
He whistled and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang,
And he won the heart of a
lady.
Chorus:
Ah-de-do, ah-de-do-da-day,
Ah-de-do, ah-de-da-ay
He
whistled and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
2.
She left her father's castle gates
She left her own fine lover
She left her servants
and her state
To follow the gypsy rover.
3. Her father saddled up his fastest
steed
And roamed the valleys all over
Sought his daughter at great speed
And
the whistling gypsy rover.
4. He came at last to a mansion fine,
Down by the
river Claydee
And there was music and there was wine,
For the gypsy and his
lady.
5. "He is no gypsy, my father" she said
"But lord of these lands all
over,
And I shall stay 'til my dying day
With my whistling gypsy
rover."
Learned at Camp Nitimus (spel?) 1962. Later
learned that it came from the
singing of the
Clancy Brothers, and is a variation of a Child
ballad. DC
