The Three Ravens – Child 26 Lyrics – Ewan MacColl

The Three Ravens – Child 26 Lyrics by Ewan MacColl

There were three ravens on a tree
A downe a downe, a derrie downe
There were three ravens on a tree
Hey ho…

The middlemost raven says to me
There lies a dead man at yon tree
A downe, a downe, a derrie downe, hey ho
There comes a lady full of woe

A downe a downe, a derrie downe
There comes his lady full of woe
Hey ho…
There comes his lady full of woe

Riding fast as she can go
A downe, a downe, a derrie downe, hey ho
Who’s this that’s killed my own true love
A downe a downe, a derrie downe

Who’s this that’s killed my own true love
Hey ho…
Who’s this that’s killed my own true love
I hope in heaven he’ll never rest

Nor e’er enjoy that blessed place
A downe, a downe, a derrie downe, hey ho
