Pete Seeger - The Keeper and the Doe lyrics
[Pete Seeger - The Keeper and the Doe lyrics]
The keeper did a hunting go
Under his cloak he carried a bow
All for to shoot the merry little doe
Among the leaves so green-o
Jackie boy, master, sing you well, very well
Hey down, ho down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
To me hey down, hey down
Ho down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
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
The next doe she did cross the brook
The keeper fetched her back with his crook
Where she is now, you may go and look
Among the leaves so green-o
The sixth doe, she did cross the plain
But he with his hounds did turn her again
There he did hunt in a very merry vein
Among the leaves so green-o
Under his cloak he carried a bow
All for to shoot the merry little doe
Among the leaves so green-o
Jackie boy, master, sing you well, very well
Hey down, ho down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
To me hey down, hey down
Ho down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
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
The next doe she did cross the brook
The keeper fetched her back with his crook
Where she is now, you may go and look
Among the leaves so green-o
The sixth doe, she did cross the plain
But he with his hounds did turn her again
There he did hunt in a very merry vein
Among the leaves so green-o
