The Gypsy Rover  -   The Highwaymen

who played this in  = Capo on the first fret.

Whistle the melody the same as for the first verse.

          The gypsy rover come over the hill,
          Down through the valley shady,
          He whistled and sang 'til the greenwood rang,
          And he won the heart of a la -  dy.

          Ah-de-do, ah-de-do-da-day,
          Ah-de-do, ah-de-day-di,
          He whistled and sang 'til the greenwood rang,
          And he won the heart of a la -  dy.

          She left her father's castle gates,
          Left her own fond lover,
          Left her servants and her estates,
          To follow the gypsy ro -  ver.        Repeat Chorus

          "He is no gypsy, my father" she said
          "But Lord of these lands all over",
          And I will stay 'til my dying day
          With my whistling gypsy ro -  ver."       Repeat Chorus

Whistle the melody the same as for the last verse.

ADDITIONAL VERSES (These are NOT in The Highwaymen version.)

          Her father saddled his fastest steed,
          And roamed the valleys all over,
          Sought his daughter at great speed,
          And the whistling gypsy ro- -ver.       Repeat 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 la - -  dy.               Repeat Chorus

The previous "Verse 3" becomes "Verse 5" if you add these verses.
