GYPSY ROVER (Leo Maguire)
G C G Em D
The gypsy rover came over the hill, down through the valley so shady,
G Em G C G C G
He whistled and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang, and he won the heart of a la--dy.
Chorus:
G C G Em D
Ah-de-do, ah-de-do-da-day, ah-de-do, ah-de-da-ay
G Em G C G C G
He whistled and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang, and he won the heart of a la--dy.
She left her father's castle gates, she left her own fine lover
She left her servants and her state to follow the gypsy rover.
Chorus:
Her father saddled up his fastest steed and roamed the valleys all over
Sought his daughter at great speed and the whistling gypsy rover.
Chorus:
He came at last to a mansion fine, down by the river Claydee
And there was music and there was wine, for the gypsy and his lady.
Chorus:
"He is no gypsy, my father" she said, "but lord of these lands all over,
And I shall stay 'til my dying day with my whistling gypsy rover."
Chorus:
