connemara stone company – the three ravens lyrics
there were three ravens sat on a tree,
down a down, hey down, hey down.
and they were as black as black 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.
down in yonder greenfield,
down a down, hey down, hey down.
there lies a knight slain under his shield;
with a down.
his hounds they lie down at his feet,
so well they can their master keep.
with a down, derry, derry, derry down, down.
his hawks they fly so eagerly,
down a down, hey down, hey down.
no other fowl dare hin come nigh
with a down.
down there comes a fallow doe,
as heavy with young as she might go.
with a down, derry, derry, derry down, down.
she lifted up his bl–dy head,
down a down, hey down, hey down.
and kissed his wounds that were so red.
with a down.
she got him up upon her back
and carried him to earthen lake.
with a down, derry, derry, derry down, down.
she buried him before the prime,
down a down, hey down, hey down
she was dead herself ere evensong time.
with a down.
god send every gentleman
such hawks, such hounds and such leman.
with a down, derry, derry, derry down, down.
