Homecoming!

[Intro]
(We like to welcome you all here this afternoon
And at the same time we like to thank you for welcoming and inviting us
This will be an album on United Artists
And if uh past uh performance is any clue this album will be probably released in about June of 1985, uh
But, uh, we just have a few simple instructions
Please don't fall asleep, the mics pick up everything
And uh, we're just gonna have as much fun as we can here
And we hope you'll do the same)
[Verse 1]
Thе gypsy rover come over thе hill
Down through the valley shady
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwood rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Chorus]
Ah-dee-doo-wah-dee-doo-dah-day
Ah-dee-doo-wah-dee-day-dee
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwood rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 2]
She left her father's castle gate
Left her own fine lover
Left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover
[Chorus]
Ah-dee-doo-wah-dee-doo-dah-day
Ah-dee-doo-wah-dee-day-dee
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwood rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 3]
Her father saddled up his fastest steed
Roamed the valleys all over
Sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistlin' gypsy rover (Come on and join us now)
[Chorus]
Ah-dee-doo-wah-dee-doo-dah-day (That's it sing it louder)
Ah-dee-doo-wah-dee-day-dee
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwood rang
And he won the heart of a lady
[Verse 4]
"He is no gypsy, my Father", she said
"But lord of these lands all over
And I will stay 'til my dyin' day
With my whistlin' gypsy rover"
[Chorus]
Ah-dee-doo-wah-dee-doo-dah-day (Last chance now)
Ah-dee-doo-wah-dee-day-dee
He whistled, and he sang 'til the greenwood rang
And he won the heart of a lady
