The Gothard Sisters - The Whistling Gypsy Rover

A whistling gypsy 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

He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang

And he won the heart of a lady

When the whistling gypsy sings

When the whistling gypsy plays

She left her father's castle gate

She left her handsome young lover

She left her servants and her estate

To follow the gypsy rover

When the whistling gypsy sings

When the whistling gypsy plays

When the whistling gypsy sings

I'll run away

Her father mounted his fastest steed

To search the valleys all over

He searched for his daughter at great speed

And the whistling gypsy rover

He came upon a castle fine

Down by the river so shady

And there was music and there was wine

For the gypsy and his lady

When the whistling gypsy sings

When the whistling gypsy plays

When the whistling gypsy sings

I'll run away

"He is no gypsy, my father," she said

"But lord of all these lands over

With him I'll stay till my dying day

In love with the gypsy rover"
