The Hunter

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.

Chorus:
Jackie boy, 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.

(chorus)

'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.

(chorus twice)

Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down. (repeat twice)
