A Keeper Went Hunting

Traditional

A keeper he would hunting go
Under his arm he carried a bow
All for to shoot a merry little doe
Among the leaves so green-o

Hey down down, hey down ho down, derry down down
Among the leaves so green-o
Catch him boy, faster, very well, master
Hey down ho down, derry down down
Among the leaves so green-o

The first doe he shot at he missed
The second doe he swore he kissed
The third doe would by nobody be missed
Among thе leaves so green-o

Hey down down, hey down ho down, derry down down
Among the leaves so green-o
Catch him boy, faster, very well, master
Hey down ho down, derry down down
Among the leaves so green-o

The fourth doe ran across the plain
The keeper chased her back again
Where she is may she remain
Among the leaves so green-o

Hey down down, hey down ho down, derry down down
Among the leaves so green-o
Catch him boy, faster, very well, master
Hey down ho down, derry down down
Among the leaves so green-o

The fifth doe ran across the brook
The keeper chased her back with his crook
Where she is you may go and look
Among the leaves so green-o

Hey down down, hey down ho down, derry down down
Among the leaves so green-o
Catch him boy, faster, very well, master
Hey down ho down, derry down down
Among the leaves so green-o
