Three Ravens

There were three ravens sat on a tree

Down-a-down, hey, down-a-down

And they were black

As they might be, with a downThe one of them said to his mate

"What shall we for our breakfast take?"

With a down, derry, derry

Derry down, downDown in yonder green field

Down-a-down, hey, down-a-down

There lies a knight slain

Under his shield, with a downDown there comes a fallow doe

As great with young as she might go

With a down, derry, derry

Derry, down, downShe lifted up his bloody head

Down-a-down, hey, down-a-down

And kissed his wounds

That were so red, with a downShe got him up across her back

And carried him to the earthen lack

With a down derry, derry

Derry down, hmmShe buried him before his prime

Down-a-down, hey, down-a-down

She was dead herself

Ere evening time, with a downGod send every gentleman

Fine hawks, fine hounds and such a loved one

With a down derry, derry

Derry down, hmm
