Three Ravens Lyrics

There were three ravens on a tree
A-down a-down a derry down
There were three ravens on a tree
Hi ho
There were three ravens on a tree
The middlemost raven said to me
A-down a-down a derry down
Hi ho
There were three ravens on a tree
A-down a-down a derry down
There were three ravens on a tree
Hi ho
The middlemost raven said to me
"There lies a dead man at yon tree"
A-down a-down a derry down
Hi ho
Here comes the lady full of woe
A-down a-down a derry down
Here comes the lady full of woe
Hi ho
Here comes the lady full of woe
Shes gone as far as she can go
A-down a-down a derry down
Hi ho

Hi ho x2

Who's this that's killed my lover now?
A-down a-down a derry down
Who's this that's killed my lover now?
Hi ho
I hope in heaven he'll never rest
Never enjoy that blessed place that's
Down a-down a derry down
Hi ho

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
