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

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

Jackie boy, master, sing ye well. Very well
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
Among the leaves so green-o
'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

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

Green-o, green-o
Hey down, hoe down, derry, derry down
