The Whistling Gypsy Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

{C:Chorus:}

Ah-di-do, ah-di-do ah-dey,

Ah-di-do, ah-di dey-o,

He whistled and he sang 'till the greenwoods rang,

And he won the heart of a lady.

She left her father's castle gate,

She left her own true lover,

She left her servants and her estate

To follow the Gypsy Rover.

{C:Chorus.}

Her father saddled his fastest steed,

Roamed the valley all over,

Sought his daughter at great speed,

And the whistling Gypsy Rover.

{C:Chorus.}

He came at last to a mansion fine,

Down by the river Calyde,

And there was music and there was wine

For the Gypsy and his lady.

{C:Chorus.}

"He's no gypsy, my father," she said,

"But lord of the freelands all over,

And I will stay 'till my dying day

With my whistling Gypsy Rover.
