| Lyrics: | Jack Splittard
The hunter, he did cross the plain and then he ventured home again.
The
merry, merry feast will soon begin among the leaves so green-o.
Chorus:
Jackie boy,
sing ye well. Very well. Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down.
Among the leaves so green-o. To
my hey, down, down. Hoe down, down.
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down. Among the leaves so
green-o.
The hunter is a cheerful sight. His hearth is warm, his fire bright.
His
songs, they fill the winter night among the leaves so green-o.
To my hey down, down. Hoe down,
down. Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down.
Among the leaves so
green-o.
(Chorus)
'Tis merry we are and merry we'll stay. We'll sing a toast 'till
the break of day
And start again upon our way among the leaves so green-o.
(Chorus
twice)
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down. (Repeat twice) |
