There be two ravens sat on a tree,
Downe a downe hay downe hay downe,
Not knowing what their dreams could be

With a downe
The one of them said to his mate
Where shall we our first flight take?

With a down, derry derry derry downe downe.

The two ravens flew up the tree,

Downe a downe hay downe hay downe,
Then traveled up the deep blue sea
With a downe

Since then one can hear their notes ring
As soft as a fluttering wing
With a down, derry derry derry downe downe
