There were three ravens sat on a tree,
Downe a downe, hay downe, hay downe
There were three ravens sat on a tree,
With a downe
There were three ravens sat on a tree,
They were as blacke as they might be.
With a downe derrie, derrie, derrie, downe, downe
The one of them said to his mate,
"Where shall we our breakfast take?
"Downe in yonder greene field,
There lies a knight slain under his shield.
"His hounds they lie downe at his feete,
So well they can their master keepe.
"His haukes they flie so eagerly,
There's no fowle dare him to come nie."
Downe there come a fallow doe,
As great with young as she might goe.
She lift up his boudy hed,
And kist his wounds that were so red.
She got him up upon her backe,
And carried him to earthen lake.
She buried him before the prime,
She was dead herselfe ere even-song time.
God send every gentleman,
Such haukes, such hounds, and such a leman.

-Downe a downe, hay downe
They were as blacke as they might be
Downe a downe, hay downe
With a downe derrie downe derrie
-Downe a downe, hay downe
There were three ravens sat on a tree,
Downe a downe, hay downe
With a downe derrie downe

Celtic-inspired instrumentation, delicate harmonies, and reflective lyrics abound on the sisterly indie-folk duo's debut album. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 26, 2023
Bright and skipping songs that foreground the sound of the banjo and fingerstyle guitar in music that feels timeless. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2020
The songs of this album create an ancient, otherworldly ambiance and touch my heart with their rapturous melodies. The lovely voice of Lady Erutan is so beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes. Lauri Erlamo
