Lyrics:

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

Howdy-do, howdy-do-da-day
Howdy-do, howdy-day Oh
He whistled as he sang till the green woods rang
Andhe won the heart of a lady

She left her fathers castle gate
She left her own true lover
She left her serv ants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover

Howdy-do, howdy-do-da-day
Howdy-do, howdy-day Oh
He whistled as he sang till the green woods rang
Andhe won the heart of a lady

Her father saddled up his fastest steed
Roamed the valleys all over
He sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistlin' gypsy rover

Howdy-do, howdy-do-da-day
Howdy-do, howdy-day Oh
He whistled as he sang till the green woods rang
Andhe won the heart of a lady

He came at last to a mansion fine
Down by the river Clady
And there was music and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady

Howdy-do, howdy-do-da-day
Howdy-do, howdy-day Oh
He whistled as he sang till the green woods rang
Andhe won the heart of a lady

He is no gypsy, father said she
But lord ofthese lands all over
And I shall stay till my dying day
With my whistlin' gypsy rover

Howdy-do, howdy-do-da-day
Howdy-do, howdy-day Oh
He whistled as he sang till the green woods rang
Andhe won the heart of a lady
