• The Three Ravens (traditional English song)

There were three rauens sat on a tree,
downe a downe, hay downe, hay downe,
They were as blacke as they might be.
with a downe,
The one of them said to his mate,
Where shall we our breakfast take?
With a downe, derrie, derrie, derrie, downe, downe.


Downe in yonder greene field,
downe a downe, hay downe, hay downe,
There lies a Knight slain under his shield,
with a downe,
His hounds they lie downe at his feete,
So well they can their Master keepe,
With a downe, derrie, derrie, derrie, downe, downe.


His Hawkes they flie so eagerly,
downe a downe, hay downe, hay downe,
There's no fowle dare him come nie
with a downe,
Downe there comes a fallow Doe,
As great with yong as she might goe,
With a downe, derrie, derrie, derrie, downe, downe.

She lift up his bloudy head,
downe a downe, hay downe, hay downe,
And kist his wounds that were so red,
with a downe,
She got him up upon her backe,
And carried him to earthen lake,
With a downe, derrie, derrie, derrie, downe, downe.

She buried him before the prime,
downe a downe, hay downe, hay downe,
She was dead her self ere euen-song time.
with a downe,
God send euery gentleman,
Such haukes, such hounds, and such a Leman
With a downe, derrie, derrie, derrie, downe, downe.
