February 2015 Folk Song - Ambleside Online

The Ambleside Online selection for Folk Song for February 2015 is The Keeper.

I found this arrangement:



A nicer arrangement that I am not able to embed can be watched here:
The Keeper

The Keeper Did A-Hunting Go

(Trad) Jackie Boy - Master
Sing you well - Very well
Heigh down-ho down, derry derry down
Among the leaves so green-o

To my hey down down- To my ho down down
Heigh down-ho down, derry derry down
Among the leaves so green-o

The keeper did a-shooting go
And under his cloak he carried a bow
All for to shoot at the merry little doe
Among the leaves so green-o

The first doe he shot at he missed
The second doe he trimly kissed
The third doe went where nobody whisht
Among the leaves so green-o

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

The fifth doe she went over the brook
The keeper fetched her back with his hook
Where she is now you may go andf look
Among the leaves so green-o
