G5    D5          G5        E5    G5        C5      G5  D5 
A gypsy rover came over the hill, into the valley shady; 
     G5              C5            G5    G5  E5 
He whistled and he sang til the green wood rang, 
    G5           C5         G5  - C5 - G5 - C5 - G5 - G5 - D5 
And he won the heart of a la   -   dy. 
 
She left her father's castle gate, she left her own true lover; 

She left her servants and her estate 

To follow her gypsy rover. 
G5        C5     G5             D5 
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day, 
G5        C5         G5  D5 
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee, 
      G5             C5            G5    G5   E5 
He whistled and he sang til the green woods rang 
     G5            C5       G5 -  C5 - G5 - C5 
And he won the heart of a la  -   dy.  
Her father mounted his fastest steed,  
And searched the valley all over; 
He sought his daughter at great speed 
And the whistling gypsy rover. 
 
At last he came to a mansion fine, down by the river Claydee, 
And there was music and there was wine 
For the gypsy and his lady. 
 
Refrain: 
 
"He is no gypsy, my father," she cried, 
"But Lord of these lands all over, 
And I shall stay til my dying day 
With my whistling gypsy rover."
