The Whistling Gypsy - The Kingston Trio

The gypsy rover came over the hill.

Down through the valley so shady

He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang and he won the heart of a lady

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day.

Ah dee du, ah dee day dee

He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang and he won the heart of a lady

She left her father’s castle gate.

Left her own fond lover

Left her servants and her estate to follow the gypsy rover

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day.

Ah dee du, ah dee day dee

He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang and he won the heart of a lady

Her father saddled his fastest steed.

Searched these valleys all over

Seeking his daughter at great speed and the whistlin' gypsy rover

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day.

Ah dee du, ah dee day dee

He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang and he won the heart of a lady

At last he came to a castle gate along the river Claydee

And there was music and there was wine for the gypsy and his lady

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day.

Ah dee du, ah dee day dee

He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang and he won the heart of a lady

«He is no gypsy, my father,» she said.

«But lord of these lands all over

And I will stay till my dying day with the whistlin' gypsy rover

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day.

Ah dee du, ah dee day dee

He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang, till the green woods rang,

till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of a lady
