Paroles
1. The keeper did a hunting go
And under his cloak he carried a bow
All for to shoot a merry little doe
Among the leaves so green-o.
Jackie boy ! Master Sing ye well. Very well.
Hey down ! Ho down. Derry derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
To my hey down down ! To my ho down down.
Hey down ! Ho down. Derry derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
2. The first doe she did cross the plain,
The keeper fetched her back again.
Where she is now, she may remain,
Among the leaves so green-o.
3. The next doe she did cross the brook.
The keeper fetched her back with his hook.
Where she is now you may go and look
Among the leaves so green-o.
4. The keeper did a hunting go.
In the woods he caught a doe.
She looked so sad that he let her go.
Among the leaves so green-o.
