[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]
Jackie boy, (Master) 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
To my hey down, down; hoe down, down
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
Jackie boy, (Master) sing ye well (Very well)
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
[Verse 3]
'Tis merry we are, and 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]
Jackie boy, (Master) 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
Jackie boy, (Master) 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
[Outro]
Green-o
Green-o
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
