[Verse]
  G         D7         G        D7
A whistling gypsy came over the hill
G           D7        G  D7
Down to the valley so shady
   G               D7            G           Em
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
    G          C          G  C  G  D7
And he won the heart of a lady___

G     D7         G       D7
Ah de doo, ah de doo dah day
G     D7         G   D7
Ah de doo, ah de day-hey
   G               D7            G           Em

    G        D7       G      D7
She left her father's castle gates
    G        D7       G D7
She left her own fond lover
    G        D7           G     Em
She left her servants and her estates
   G          C     G  C  G  D7
To follow the gypsy rover___

    G     D7        G            D7
"He is no gypsy, my father," she said
     G       D7          G D7
"But lord of these lands over
     G        D7           G     Em
With him I'll stay till my dying day
    G          C     G  C  G  D7
And follow the gypsy rover___"
