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)
