The Hunter

The Hunter - The Kingston Trio

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

Jackie boy

Master

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

Jackie boy

Master

Sing ye well

Very well

Hey down hoe down derry derry down

Among the leaves so green-o

'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

Jackie boy

Master

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

Jackie boy

Master

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 green-o green-o

Hey down hoe down derry derry down

Hey down hoe down derry derry down

Hey down hoe down derry derry down
