The Keeper
The Weavers
[Intro] [Verse 1] The keeper did a-hunting go Under his cloak he carried a bow All for a shoot a merry little doe Among the leaves so green-o [Chorus] Jacky 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 [Verse 2] 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] Jacky boy (Master) Sing ye well? (Very well) Hey down (Ho down) Derry derry down Among the leaves so green-o [Verse 3] 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] Jacky 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 [Verse 4] The keeper did a-hunting go In the woods he caught a doe She looked so sad that he had to let her go Among the leaves so green-o [Chorus] Jacky 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 To my hey down down (To my ho down down) Hey down ho down derry derry down Among the leaves so green-o [Outro]
