Three Ravens

歌詞

There were three ravens sat on a tree, down a down, hey down a down They were as black as they might be with a down, down, down Then one of them said to his mate 'Where shall we now our breakfast take?' With a down, derry, derry, down, down Down in yonder deep green field, down a down, hey down a down There lies a knight slain under his shield, with a down, down, down His hounds they lie down at his feet, so well do they their masters keep With a down, derry, derry, down, down His hawks they fly so eagerly, down a down, hey down a down There's no fowl that dare him come nigh, with a down, down, down Down there comes a fallow doe, as great with young as she might go With a down, 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, down, down She got him up upon her back, and carried him to earthern lake With a down, derry, derry, down, down She buried him before the prime, a derry She was dead herself ere evensong time God send every gentle man such hawks, such hounds, And such a loved one
