Brian Peters - Three Ravens lyrics

There were three ravens on a tree A-down, a-down, a-derry-down There were three ravens on a tree Heigh-ho There were three ravens on a tree And they were as black as they might be A-down, a-down, a-derry-down Heigh-ho The one of them said to his mate A-down, a-down, a-derry-down The one of them said to his mate Heigh-ho The one of them said to his mate "What shall we for our breakfast take?" A-down, a-down, a-derry-down Heigh-ho "Down in yonder low green field A-down, a-down, a-derry-down Down in yonder low green field Heigh-ho Down in yonder low green field A knight lies slain beneath his shield A-down, a-down, a-derry-down Heigh-ho "His hounds they lie all at his feet A-down, a-down, a-derry-down His hounds they lie all at his feet Heigh-ho His hounds they lie all at his feet So well their master safe to keep A-down, a-down, a-derry-down Heigh-ho "There comes his lady full of woe A-down, a-down, a-derry-down There comes his lady full of woe Heigh-ho There comes his lady full of woe As great with child as she might go A-down, a-down, a-derry-down Heigh-ho "She's lifted up his bloody head A-down, a-down, a-derry-down She's lifted up his bloody head Heigh-ho She's lifted up his bloody head And kissed the wound that ran so red." A-down, a-down, a-derry-down Heigh-ho "Who's this has k**ed my own true love?" A-down, a-down, a-derry-down "Who's this has k**ed my own true love?" Heigh-ho "Who's this has k**ed my own true love? May he never rest in heaven above!" A-down, a-down, a-derry-down Heigh-ho "She buried him before the prime A-down, a-down, a-derry-down She buried him before the prime Heigh-ho She buried him before the prime She died herself ere evening time." A-down, a-down, a-derry-down Heigh-ho
