Three Ravens Songtext
von Ninebarrow

There were three ravens on a tree
A-down, a-down, a-derry-down
There were three ravens on a tree, hey-ho
And the middlemost raven said to me
There lies a dead man by yon′ tree
A-down, a-down, a-derry-down
Hey-ho


There comes a lady full of woe
A-down, a-down, a-derry-down
There comes a lady full of woe, hey-ho
There comes a lady full of woe
Riding as fast as she can go
A-down, a-down, a-derry-down
Hey-ho

Who's this that′s killed my own true love
A-down, a-down, a-derry-down
Who's this that's killed my own true love, hey-ho
I hope in heaven he′ll never rest
Nor e′er enjoy that blessed place
A-down, a-down, a-derry-down
Hey-ho


There were three ravens on a tree
A-down, a-down, a-derry-down
There were three ravens on a tree, hey-ho
There were three ravens on a tree
They were as black as black might be
A-down, a-down, a-derry-down
Hey-ho
