Biografía:
Thomas Ravenscroft (c. 1582 o 1592 — 1635), fue un compositor, teórico y editor inglés notable por sus cánones, y especialmente por recopilar colecciones de música folclórica británica.
Es probable que haya cantado en el coro de la catedral de San Pablo desde 1594, ya que los registros de ese año incluyen a un "Thomas Raniscroft". Se conoce, sin embargo, que permaneció allí hasta alrededor del 1600, bajo la dirección de Thomas Giles. Recibe su grado de bachiller de la Universidad de Cambridge en 1605.

Thomas Ravenscroft - The Three Ravens
I like to play this song with the capo on 1st fret but the official is on 3th fret.. Enjoy!
(This version is the original like the one Andreas Scholl sing, not the one of "Peter Paul and Mary")
Am Dm E7
There were three ravens sat on a tree
Am Dm E7
Down-a-down, Hey! down-a-down,
Am G C E7
And they were black as black could be, with a down
C E7
The one of them said to his mate:
Am E7
"Where shall we our breakfast take?"
C Dm E7 Am
With a down, derry derry derry down, down
Am Dm E7
down in yonder green field,
Am Dm E7
down-a-down, Hey! down-a-down,
Am G C E7
There lies a knight slain under his shield, with a down
C E7
His hounds they lie down at his feet,
Am E7
So well do they their Master keep,
C Dm E7 Am
With a down, derry, derry, derry, down, down.
Am Dm E7
His Hawks they fly so eagerly,
Am Dm E7
down a down, hey down, hey down,
Am G C E7
There's no fowl dare him come nie With a down.
C E7
down there comes a fellow doe,
Am E7
As great with young as she might go
C Dm E7 Am
With a down, derry derry derry, down, down
Am Dm E7
She lifted up his bloody head,
Am Dm E7
down-a-down, Hey! down-a-down,
Am G C E7
And kissed his wounds that were so red, with a down
C E7
She got him up across her back
Am E7
And carried him to the earthen lack
C Dm E7 Am
With a down derry derry derry down, down
Am Dm E7
She buried him before the prime
Am Dm E7
down-a-down, Hey! down-a-down,
Am G C E7
She was dead herself, ere even-song time, with a down
C E7
god sent every gentlemen
Am E7
Fine hawks, fine hounds and such a leman.
C Dm E7 Am
With a down derry derry derry down, down.
