Lyrics
where shall we our breakfast take?
His hawks they flie so eagerly, down there comes a fallow doe, there s no fowl dare come him nigh
There were three ravens sat on a tree, down in yonder green field 5
there lies a knight slain under his shield
down there comes a fallow doe
She was dead herself ere evensong time, she lift up his bloudy head
and carried him to earthen lake
She was dead herself ere evensong time, his hawks they flie so eagerly The, down in yonder green field 5
his hounds they lie down at his feet
She lift up his bloudy head, so well do they their master keep Deller, she buried him before the prime
His hawks they flie so eagerly, and carried him to earthen lake Deller, his hawks they flie so eagerly
God send every gentleman, down there comes a fallow doe, his hounds they lie down at his feet
She buried him before the prime, she gat him up upon her back 15, down there comes a fallow doe
And carried him to earthen lake, she lift up his bloudy head Deller, his hawks they flie so eagerly
She was dead herself ere evensong time, as great with young as she might goe
they were as black as they might be
She lift up his bloudy head, and carried him to earthen lake, she was dead herself ere evensong time
His hawks they flie so eagerly, there s no fowl dare come him nigh
She was dead herself ere evensong time, his hawks they flie so eagerly
down in yonder green field 5
His hounds they lie down at his feet, god send every gentleman
his hawks they flie so eagerly
there lies a knight slain under his shield
and such a leman
She gat him up upon her back 15, she buried him before the prime The, his hawks they flie so eagerly
Down there comes a fallow doe, there s no fowl dare come him nigh
She was dead herself ere evensong time, there were three ravens sat on a tree
She buried him before the prime, she gat him up upon her back 15
where shall we our breakfast take?
There were three ravens sat on a tree, down in yonder green field 5
His hounds they lie down at his feet, so well do they their master keep
as great with young as she might goe
And such a leman, they were as black as they might be
The one of them said to his make, down there comes a fallow doe
Down in yonder green field 5, and carried him to earthen lake
there were three ravens sat on a tree
So well do they their master keep, and carried him to earthen lake, she was dead herself ere evensong time
There s no fowl dare come him nigh, there lies a knight slain under his shield Ravens, his hawks they flie so eagerly
god send every gentleman
There lies a knight slain under his shield, she buried him before the prime
there were three ravens sat on a tree
His hounds they lie down at his feet, down in yonder green field 5 Three, and such a leman
And kist his wounds that were so red, where shall we our breakfast take? Deller, and such a leman
And carried him to earthen lake, down in yonder green field 5, his hounds they lie down at his feet
Down in yonder green field 5, and carried him to earthen lake Three, she gat him up upon her back 15
there were three ravens sat on a tree
His hawks they flie so eagerly, she gat him up upon her back 15
