W:She left her own fine lover. W:She left her servants and her estate, W:To follow her gypsy rover. W: W:3 W:Her father saddled up his fastest stead, W:And roamed the valley all over. W:He W:sought his daughter at great speed, W:And the whistlin' gypsy rover. W: W:4 W:He came at last to a mansion fine W:Down by the river Clady. W:And there was music and there was wine W:For the gypsy and his lady. W: W:5 W:"He is no gypSy, my father,"she cried" W:But Lord of these lands all over. W:And I shall stay 'til my dying day W:With my whistlin' gypsy rover.
