about

From an old English ballad. The call back aspect of this song never fails to engage a group of kids (or their grown up friends) who sing it. Spoiler alert: the deer goes free.

lyrics

The Keeper Old English Ballad

The keeper did a hunting go
Under his coat he carried a bow
All for to shoot at a merry little dow
Among the leaves so green oh

(Chorus)
Jackie boy
Master
Sing ye well
Very well
Hey down
Ho down
Derry derry down
Among the leaves so green oh
To my hey down down
To my ho down down
Hey down
Ho down
Derry derry down

The first doe she did cross the plain
The keeper fetched her back again
Where she is now she may remain
Among the leaves so green oh

Chorus

The next doe she did cross the brook
The keeper fetched her back with his hook
Where she is now you may go and look
Among the leaves so green oh

Chorus

The keeper did a hunting go
And in the woods he caught the doe
She looked so sad he had to let her go
Among the leaves so green oh

Chorus
