Subject: RE: Songs for Pre-schoolers with 'GREEN'
This is a well-known English traditional song.
The Keeper
The Keeper did a-shooting go, And under his cloak he carried a bow, All for to shoot at a merry little doe Among the leaves so green-o.
Chorus (group one) - (group two) Jackie Boy! - Master! Sing ye well! - Very well! Derry derry down, (groups 1&2) Among the leaves so green-o To my hey down down, - To my ho down, down, Hey down --- Ho down, Derry down, (groups 1&2) Among the leaves so green-o.
The first doe he shot at he missed, The second doe he trimmed he kissed, The third doe went where nobody wist Among the leaves so green-o.
Chorus
The fourth 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
The fifth doe she did cross the brook; The Keeper fetched her back with his crook. Where she is now you must go and look Among the leaves so green-o.
