- Downe a downe, hay downe
They were as blacke as they might be
Downe a downe, hay downe
With a downe, derrie downe derrie
- Downe a downe, hay downe
There were three ravens on a tree,
Downe a downe, hay downe
With a downe derrie downe
The one of them said to his mate,
Where shall we our breakfast take?
Downe in yonder greene field,
There lies a knight slain under his shield.
- Downe a downe, hay downe
They were as blacke as they might be
Downe a downe, hay downe
With a downe, derrie downe derrie
- Downe a downe, hay downe
There were three ravens on a tree,
Downe a downe, hay downe
With a downe derrie downe
His hounds they lie downe at his feete,
So well they can their master keep.
His haukes they flie so eagerly,
There's no fowle dare him to come nie.
- Downe a downe, hay downe
They were as blacke as they might be
Downe a downe, hay downe
With a downe, derrie downe derrie
- Downe a downe, hay downe
There were three ravens on a tree,
Downe a downe, hay downe
With a downe derrie downe
Downe there come a fellow doe,
As great with young as she might goe.
She buried him before the prime,
She was dead herselfe ere even-song time.
- Downe a downe, hay downe
They were as blacke as they might be
Downe a downe, hay downe
With a downe, derrie downe derrie
- Downe a downe, hay downe
There were three ravens on a tree,
Downe a downe, hay downe
With a downe derrie downe
- Downe a downe, hay downe
They were as blacke as they might be
Downe a downe, hay downe
With a downe, derrie downe derrie
- Downe a downe, hay downe
There were three ravens on a tree,
Downe a downe, hay downe
With a downe derrie downe
