[Intro]
There were three Ravens sat on a tree
Down a down, hey down, hey down
They were as black as they might be, with a down
Then one of them said to his mate
Where shall we our breakfast take?
With a down derry, derry, derry, down, down

[Verse 1]
Down in yonder green field
Down a down, hey down, hey down
Lies a Knight slain under his shield—with a down

[Chorus]
His hounds lie there down at his feet
So well do they their Master keep
With a down derry, derry, derry, down, down

[Verse 2]
His hawks they fly so eagerly
Down a down, hey down, hey down
There's no fowl dare him come nie—with a down

[Chorus]
Down there comes a fallow doe
As good with young as she might go
With a down derry, derry, derry, down, down
With a down, derry derry derry down, down
