The Hunter

(álbum: Sold Out - 1960)

The hunter, he did cross the plain and then he ventured home again
The merry, merry feast will soon begin among the leaves so green-o

Jackie boy, sing ye well
Very well
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
To my hey, down, down. Hoe down, down
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o

The hunter is a cheerful sight
His hearth is warm, his fire bright
His songs, they fill the winter night among the leaves so green-o
To my hey down, down
Hoe down, down
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o

Jackie boy, sing ye well
Very well
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
To my hey, down, down. Hoe down, down
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o

'Tis merry we are and merry we'll stay
We'll sing a toast till the break of day
And start again upon our way among the leaves so green-o

Jackie boy, sing ye well
Very well
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
To my hey, down, down. Hoe down, down
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o

Jackie boy, sing ye well
Very well
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
To my hey, down, down. Hoe down, down
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o

Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
