The Gypsy Rover

G    D          G        Em    
A gypsy rover came over the 
G        C      G  D
hill, into the valley shady;

     G              C         
He whistled and he sang til the 
   G    G/F#  Em
green wood rang,

    G           C         G  - C - 
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.

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."
