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 down
The one of them said to his mate：
"what shall we for our breakfast take?"“
With a down, derry derry derry down, down
Down in yonder green field
Down-a-down, hey! down-a-down
There lies a knight slain under his shield, with a down
Down there comes a fallow doe
As great with young as she might go
With a down, derry derry derry, down, down
She lifted up his bloody head,
Down-a-down, hey! down-a-down
And kissed his wounds that were so red, with a down
She got him up across her back
And carried him to the earthen lack
With a down derry derry derry down, down
......
She buried him before his prime
Down-a-down, hey! down-a-down
She was dead herself, ere evening time, with a down
God send every gentlemen
Fine hawks, fine hounds and such a loved one
With a down derry derry derry down, hmmm
......
