about

The Keeper is a well-known English folk song. We are grateful - on behalf of the deer - that the keeper never manages to hit any of them!
The version are for women's choir, mixed choir and men's choir. In his versatility Matthew succeeds in all versions!

lyrics

The keeper did a-hunting go
(run away)
and under his cloak he carried a bow
(run away my dear)
all for to shoot at a merry little doe
among the leaves so green oh.

Jackie boy!
Master?
Sing ye well?
Very well!
hey down, ho down derry derry down
among the leaves so green oh

with a hey down down
with a ho down down
hey down ho down derry derry down
among the leaves so-green oh


The first doe he shot at and missed
the second doe he trimmed he kissed
the third doe went where nobody wist
among the leaves so green oh

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 oh

The fifth doe she did cross the brook
The keeper fetched her back with his crook
Where she is no you must go and look
Among the leaves so green oh


Oh run away my dear!
