The keeper did a hunting go
and under his cloak he carried a bow
all for to shoot a merry little doe
among the leaves so green-o.

Chorus:
Jackie 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

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: Jackie boy (Master)...

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: Jackie boy (Master)...

The keeper did a hunting go.
In the woods he caught a doe.
She looked so sad that he let her go.
Among the leaves so green-o.
