[Intro]      [Verse 1] The keeper did a-hunting go Under his cloak he carried a bow All for a shoot a merry little doe Among the leaves so green-o [Chorus] Jacky boy (Master) Sing ye well? (Very well) Hey down (Ho down) Derry derry down Among the leaves so green-o To my hey down down (To my ho down down) Hey down ho down derry derry down Among the leaves so green-o [Verse 2] 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-o [Chorus] Jacky boy (Master) Sing ye well? (Very well) Hey down (Ho down) Derry derry down Among the leaves so green-o [Verse 3] 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-o [Chorus] Jacky boy (Master) Sing ye well? (Very well) Hey down (Ho down) Derry derry down Among the leaves so green-o To my hey down down (To my ho down down) Hey down ho down derry derry down Among the leaves so green-o [Verse 4] The keeper did a-hunting go In the woods he caught a doe She looked so sad that he had to let her go Among the leaves so green-o [Chorus] Jacky boy (Master) Sing ye well? (Very well) Hey down (Ho down) Derry derry down Among the leaves so green-o To my hey down down (To my ho down down) Hey down ho down derry derry down Among the leaves so green-o To my hey down down (To my ho down down) Hey down ho down derry derry down Among the leaves so green-o [Outro]

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un chasseur qui, armé de son arc, part à la recherche de biches dans la forêt. Il réussit à capturer quelques-unes, mais à la fin, il se rend compte de la tristesse d'une biche qu'il a attrapée et décide de la relâcher, la laissant vivre parmi les feuilles verdoyantes. Cette belle mélodie évoque à la fois la légèreté de la chasse et la compassion qui peut naître l'amour de la nature et des créatures qui l'habitent. C’est un appel à respecter la vie et à reconnaître la beauté de la liberté.
