Twa Corbies

歌詞

As I was walking o'er the lane I heard twa corbies making mane And t'ane unto the t'other did say-O, "Where shall we gang and dine the day-O, Where shall we gang and dine the day?" "In behind yon auld fail dyke I wot there lies a new-slain knight And naebody kens 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 tae the hunting gane, His hawk tae fetch the wildfowl hame, His lady's ta'en another mate-O, So we may make our dinner sweet-O, We may make our dinner sweet. "Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane And I'll bite out his bonny blue eyen Wi' mony a lock of his golden hair-O We'll theek our nest when it grows bare-O Theek our nest when it grows bare. "Mony a one for him lies slain But nane shall ken where he is gane For his white bones, when they are bare-O, The wind shall blow forevermare-O, The wind shall blow forevermare."
