Whistling Gypsy
Traditional
[C] The gypsy [G7] rover came[C] over the [G7] hill
[C] Down through the [G7] valley so[C] sha[G7]dy,
He [C] whistled and he [G7] sang 'til the[C] greenwoods[Am] rang,
And [C] he won the [Dm] heart of a [C] la[F]d[C]y.
[Chorus]
|[C] Ah-de-[G7] do, ah-de-[C] do-da-[G7] day,
|[C] Ah-de-[G7] do, ah-de-[C] da-[G7] ay
|He [C] whistled and he[G7] sang 'til the [C] greenwoods[Am] rang,
|And [C] he won the [Dm] heart of a[C] la[F]d[C]y.|
[C] She left her [G7] father's [C] castle [G7] gates
[C] She left her [G7] own fine [C] lo[G7]ver
She [C] left her [G7] servants [C] and her [Am] state
To [C] follow the [Dm] gypsy [C] r[F]o[C]ver.
[Chorus]
[C] Her father [G7] saddled up [C] his fastest [G7] steed
[C] And roamed the [G7] valleys all [C] o[G7] ver
[C] Sought his [G7] daughter [C] at great [Am] speed
And [C] the whistling [Dm] gypsy [C] r[F]o[C]ver.
[Chorus]
[C] He came at [G7] last to a [C] mansion [G7] fine,
[C] Down by the [G7] river [C] Clay[G7]dee
[C] And there was [G7] music and [C] there was [Am] wine,
For [C] the gypsy [Dm] and his [C] la[F] [C] dy.
[Chorus]
[C] "He is no [G7] gypsy, my [C] father" she [G7] said
[C] "But lord of these [G7] lands [C] all [G7] over,
[C] And I shall [G7] stay 'til my [C] dying [Am] day
With my [C] whistling [Dm] gypsy [C] ro[F] [C] ver."
[Chorus]
