| lyric | 1. The keeper would a hundin go,
the day was clear and wonderful,
there where you hear the cornet sound,
among the leaves so green.
O! Jackei boy! Masetr?
Sing ye well? Very well!
Hey down, ho down, derrry, derry down,
among the leaves so green.
2. The first shot now but he, he missed
the second too, believe me please,
the third doe went where nobody wist
among the leaves so green.
3. But now he saw a doe so sweet
the keeper folloew with quik feet.
where is the place they now remain
among the leaves so green.
4. The fifth doe she did cross the brook,
the keeper fethced her back with his crook,
where she is now you must go and look
among the leaves so green. |
