The Three Ravens - Nigel Perrin/David Parsons
There were three ravens sat on a tree
Down-a-down
Hey down-a-down
They was 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
They 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 hey down
And kissed his wounds that were so red
With a down
She got him up across 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-a-down
She was dead herself eye even time
With a down
God send every gentlemen
Fat hounds fat hounds and such last one
With a down derry derry derry down down
The three ravens - cabinet shuffle
