Three Ravens
There were three ravens sat on a tree
Down a down, hey down, down a down
They were as black might be
With a down, down, down
The one of them said to his mate
"Where shall we our breakfast take?"
With a down, derry, derry down, down
Down in yonder green field
Down a down, hey down, down a down
Their lies a knight slain under his shield
With a down, down, down
His hounds they lie down at his feet
So well they do their master keep
With a down, derry, derry down, down
His hawks they fly so eagerly
Down a down, hey down, down a down
No other fowl dare him come nigh
With a down, down, down
Down there comes a fallow doe
As heavy with young as she might go
With a down, derry, derry down, down
She lifted up his bloody head
Down a down, hey down, down a down
And kissed his wounds that were so red
With a down, down, down
She got him up upon her back
And carried him to earthen lake
With a down, derry, derry down, down
She buried him before the prime
A derry
She was dead herself ere even-song time
God send every gentleman
Such hawks, such hounds, and such leman
Down a down, hey down, down a down
They were as black might be
With a down, down, down
The one of them said to his mate
"Where shall we our breakfast take?"
With a down, derry, derry down, down
Down in yonder green field
Down a down, hey down, down a down
Their lies a knight slain under his shield
With a down, down, down
His hounds they lie down at his feet
So well they do their master keep
With a down, derry, derry down, down
His hawks they fly so eagerly
Down a down, hey down, down a down
No other fowl dare him come nigh
With a down, down, down
Down there comes a fallow doe
As heavy with young as she might go
With a down, derry, derry down, down
She lifted up his bloody head
Down a down, hey down, down a down
And kissed his wounds that were so red
With a down, down, down
She got him up upon her back
And carried him to earthen lake
With a down, derry, derry down, down
She buried him before the prime
A derry
She was dead herself ere even-song time
God send every gentleman
Such hawks, such hounds, and such leman
