The Keeper
The keeper did a-hunting go
And under his cloak he carried a bow
All for to shoot at a merry little doe
Among the leaves so green-o
Jacky boy
Master
Sing you well
Very well
Hey down Ho down
To my ho down down
Hey down Ho down
Derry derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
The first doe she did cross the plain
The keeper fetch'd her back again
Where she is now she may remain
Among the leaves so green-o
Jacky boy
Master
Sing you well
Very well
Hey down Ho down
To my ho down down
Hey down Ho down
Derry derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
The second doe she crossed the brook
The keeper fetch'd her back with his hook
Where she is now you may go look
Among the leaves so green-o
Jacky boy
Master
Sing you well
Very well
Hey down Ho down
To my ho down down
Hey down Ho down
Derry derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
And under his cloak he carried a bow
All for to shoot at a merry little doe
Among the leaves so green-o
Jacky boy
Master
Sing you well
Very well
Hey down Ho down
To my ho down down
Hey down Ho down
Derry derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
The first doe she did cross the plain
The keeper fetch'd her back again
Where she is now she may remain
Among the leaves so green-o
Jacky boy
Master
Sing you well
Very well
Hey down Ho down
To my ho down down
Hey down Ho down
Derry derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
The second doe she crossed the brook
The keeper fetch'd her back with his hook
Where she is now you may go look
Among the leaves so green-o
Jacky boy
Master
Sing you well
Very well
Hey down Ho down
To my ho down down
Hey down Ho down
Derry derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
