The Hunter by The Kingston Trio Lyrics
[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
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]

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
