Three Ravens Paroles

Downe a downe hay downe
With a downe derrie downe

The one of them said to his mate
"Where shall we our breakefast take?"
"Downe in yonder greene field
There lies a knight slain vnder his shield”

Downe a downe hay downe
They were as blacke as they might be
Downe a downe hay downe
With a downe derrie down derrie
Downe a downe hay downe
There were three ravens sat on a tree
Downe a downe hay downe
With a downe derrie downe

"His hounds they lie downe at his feete
So well they can their master keepe
His haukes they flie so eagerly Downe a downe hay downe
With a downe derrie down derrie
Downe a downe hay downe
There were three ravens sat on a tree
Downe a downe hay downe
With a downe derrie downe

Downe there comes a fallow doe
As great with yong as she might goe
She buried him before the prime
She was dead herselfe ere euen-song time

Downe a downe hay downe
They were as blacke as they might be
Downe a downe hay downe
With a downe derrie down derrie
Downe a downe hay downe
There were three ravens sat on a tree
Downe a downe hay downe
With a downe derrie downe...
