The Kerry Boys: Listen
The Whistling Gypsy
(The Kerry Boys - Live In the Studio)
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 the lady
Ah dee doo ah dee do da day, ah dee do ah dee day
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of the lady
He is no gypsy father dear, but lord of these lands all over
I’m going to stay till my dying day, with my whistling gypsy rover
Her father saddled up his fastest steed, he ranged the valleys all over
He sought his daughter at great speed, and the whistling gypsy rover
He came at last to a mansion fine, down by the river Caldy
And there was music and there was wine, for his gypsy and his lady
He is no gypsy father dear, but lord of these lands all over
I’m going to stay till my dying day, with my whistling gypsy rover
