The Hunter
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 X2

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