Twa Corbiez -

As I was walking all alone

I heard two ravens cry and moan

The one onto the other did say-o

Where shall we go and dine today-o?

Where shall we go and dine today?

Out beyond that old high dike

I know there lies a murdered knight

And no-one knows that he lies there-o

But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair-o

His hawk and his hound and his lady fair

His hound is to the hunting gone

His hawk to fetch the wild bird home

His lady loves another knight-o

So we may make our dinner sweet-o

So we may make our dinner sweet

So you may sit on his white thigh

And I’ll peck out his bonny blue eyes

And with a lock of his golden hair-o

We’ll fix our nest when it grows bare-o

We’ll fix our nest when it grows bare

There’s many a one for him does moan

But none will know where he is gone

And o’er his bones when they lie bare-o

The wind will blow forever more-o

The wind will blow forever more
