    C              F         C
The hunter, he did cross the plain 
                     F    C
and then he ventured home again.
                                   G7
The merry, merry feast will soon begin 
C                   G7    C
among the leaves so green-o.


Chorus:
C
Jackie boy, sing ye well. Very well. 
                                 G7
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down.
 C                  G7    C
Among the leaves so green-o. 

With a hey, down, down. Hoe down, down.
                                 G7
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down.
 C                  G7    C 
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.

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.
