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

Chorus:
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

(Chorus)

'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

(Chorus twice)

Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down (Repeat twice)
