lyrics

The Three Ravens
(Old English folk ballad)

There were three Ravens sat on a tree
Downe a downe, hay downe, hay downe
They were as blacke as blacke could be
with a downe
Then one of them said to his mate,
Where shall we our breakefast take
With a downe, derrie, derrie, derrie, downe, downe

Downe in yonder greene field,
There lies a Knight slain under his shield

His hounds they lie downe at his feete
So well do they their Master keepe

His Hawkes they flie so eagerly,
There's no fowle that dare him come nie

Downe there comes a fallow Doe,
As great with yong as she might go

She lifted up his bloody head
And kiss'd his wounds that were so red

She got him up upon her backe
And carried him to earthen lake.

She buried him before the prime
She was dead her self ere even song time

God sent every gentleman,
Such hawkes, such hounds, and such a leman.
