| Now, the keeper wore a hunting coat
 | 
| And under his arm, he carried a bow
 | 
| All for to shoot the merry little doe
 | 
| Among the leaves so green-o
 | 
| Jackie boy, Master, singing 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
 | 
| Now, the first doe he shot at he missed
 | 
| The second doe, he trimmed, he kissed
 | 
| The third doe went where nobody wist
 | 
| Among the leaves so green-o
 | 
| Jackie boy, Master, singing 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
 | 
| Now, the fourth doe went across the plain
 | 
| The keeper brought her back again
 | 
| Where she’s now, she must remain
 | 
| Among the leaves so green-o
 | 
| Jackie boy, Master, singing 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
 | 
| Now, the fifth doe went across the brook
 | 
| The keeper fetched her with his crook
 | 
| Where she’s now you must not look
 | 
| Among the leaves so green-o
 | 
| Jackie boy, Master, singing 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 |
