Downe a downe hay downe
They were as blacke as they might be
Downe a downe hay downe
With a downe derrie down derrie
Downe a downe hay downe
There were three ravens sat 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 breakefast take?"
"Downe in yonder greene field
There lies a knight slain vnder his shield"
Downe a downe hay downe
They were as blacke as they might be
Downe a downe hay downe
With a downe derrie down derrie
Downe a downe hay downe
There were three ravens sat 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 keepe
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 down derrie
Downe a downe hay downe
There were three ravens sat on a tree
Downe a downe hay downe
With a downe derrie downe
Downe there comes a fallow doe
As great with yong as she might goe
She buried him before the prime
She was dead herselfe ere euen-song time
Downe a downe hay downe
They were as blacke as they might be
Downe a downe hay downe
With a downe derrie down derrie
Downe a downe hay downe
There were three ravens sat 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 down derrie
Downe a downe hay downe
There were three ravens sat on a tree
Downe a downe hay downe
With a downe derrie downe
