| 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 |
