Lyrics:
THE KEEPER
The keeper did a hunting go
And under his cloak he carried a bow
All for to shoot a merry little doe
Among the leaves so green-o
Jackie boy (Master) Sing ye well (Very well)
Hey down (Ho down) Derry derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
To my hey down down (To my ho down down )
Hey down (Ho down) Derry derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
The first doe she did cross the plain,
The keeper fetched her back again
Where she is now, she may remain,
Among the leaves so green-o
CHORUS
The next doe she did cross the brook
The keeper fetched her back with his hook
Where she is now you may go and look
Among the leaves so green-o
CHORUS
The keeper did a hunting go
In the woods he caught a doe
She looked so sad that he let her go
Among the leaves so green-o
