[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
Jackie boy, (Master), sing ye well, (very well)
Hey down, ho down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
[Chorus 2]
To my hey down, down, (Ho down, down)
Hey down, ho down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
[Verse 2]
The hunter is a cheerful guide
His hearth is bright, his fire is warm
His songs, they fill the winter side
Among the leaves so green-o
[Chorus 2]
To my hey down, down, (Ho down, down)
Hey down, ho down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
[Chorus 1]
Jackie boy, (Master), sing ye well (very well)
Hey down, ho down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
[Verse 3]
'Tis merry we'll go, and 'tis merry we'll stay
We'll sing a toast 'til the break of day
And start again upon our way
Among the leaves so green-o
[Chorus 1]
Jackie boy, (Master), sing ye well, (very well)
Hey down, ho down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
[Chorus 2]
Ho!
To my hey, down, down (Ho down, down)
Hey down, ho down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o, green-o
[Outro]
(Hey down, ho down, derry, derry down)
(Hey down, ho down, derry, derry down)
(Hey down, ho down, derry, derry down)
