Three Ravens (Live Version)

There were three ravens sat on a tree

Down a down hey down a down

And they were black

As they might be with a down

The one of them said to his mate

What shall we for our breakfast take

With a down derry derry

Derry down down

Down in yonder green field

Down a down hey down a down

There lies a knight slain

Under his shield with a down

Down there comes a fallow doe

As great with young as she might go

With a down derry derry

Derry down down

She lifted up his bloody head

Down a down hey down a down

And kissed his wounds

That were so red with a down

She got him up across her back

And carried him to the earthen lack

With a down derry derry

Derry down

She buried him before his prime

Down a down hey down a down

She was dead herself

Ere evening time with a down

God send every gentleman

Fine hawks fine hounds and such a loved one

With a down derry derry

Derry down
