Kingston Trio - The Hunter lyrics

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)
