The one of them said to his mate. "Where shall we our breakfast take?" With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down. Down in yonder green field, Down a down, hey down, hey down Their lies a knight slain under his shield, With a down. His hounds they lie down at his feet So well they do 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 him 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 bloody 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 even-song time, With a down. God send every gentleman Such hawks, such hounds, and such leman, With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down. ----------------------------------------------------------------- recorded on Richard Dyer-Bennet 4 and Nye's Early English Ballads Child #26 From Ravenscroft's 1616 "Melismate" @ballad @love @death @animal filename[ THRERAVN play.exe THRERAVN DC ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Time O Year For Dippin Sheep, Time To Be Made A Wife, Time Will Show The Wiser, Times Are Getting Hard Boys, Times They Are A Changing, Tinker, Tinkers Courtship, Titanic, To Anacreon In Heaven, To Morrow, To The Beggin I Will Go, To The Sweet Sunny South, Tobaccos But An Indian Weed, Today, Tom Bolyn, Tom Cat Blues Or Ring Tail Tom, Tom Dooley, Tom Twist, Tommys Gone To Hilo, Tonga Anthem Text, Tonga Native Anthem Text, Tonight, Too Much Of A Name, Tooalooralooral, Topman And Afterguard, Touch Me, Tourist Attraction, Town I Loved So Well, Train On The Island, Tramp, Tramp On The Street, Tramp Tramp Tramp, Tramps And Hawkers, Trinidad Tobago Anthem Text, Trooper And The Maid, Trooper And The Turk, Tropical Jesus, Truck Driving Woman, True Thomas, Truth From Above, Trying Times, Tshotsholosa, Tune For November, Turkey Anthem Text, Turkey In The Straw, Turkey Native Anthem Text, Turn Over In The Morning, Turn Turn Turn, Turn Ye To Me, Turn Your Radio On, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
