Il testo della The hunter

Jack splittard

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.

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)
