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 takeβ
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
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 takeβ
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
