Three Ravens

Peter, Paul and Mary

          Dmi               G
1. There were three ravens sat on a tree
    Dmi             A
   down-a-down hey down-a-down
         Dmi                G                   Dmi A
   and they were black as they might be with a down
       F                 C      A
   the one of them said to his mate:
           Dmi     Dmi/C    Bb       A
   "What shall we for our breakfast take?"
           Dmi  G           A          Dmi
   with a down derry derry derry down down.
2. Down in yonder green field
   down-a-down hey down-a-down
   there lies a knight slain under his shield with a down
   down there comes a fallow doe
   as great with young as she might go
   with a down derry derry derry down down.
3. She lifted up his bloody head
   down-a-down hey down-a-down
   and kissed his wounds that were so red with a down
   she got him up across her back
   and carried him to the earthen lack
   with a down derry derry derry down down.
4. She buried him before his prime
   down-a-down hey down-a-down
   she was dead herself ere evening time with a down
   God send every gentlemen
   fine hawks fine hounds and such a loved one
   with a down derry derry derry down hm.
