The Twa Corbies lyrics

As I was walking, oh a' my lane

I spied twa corbies, they were makin' mane

And een ontae the other did say

"Where will we gang? Will we dine the day?

Where will we gang? Will we dine the day?"

It's in ahind yon oul fail dyke

I wot there lies, oh a new-slain knight

Naebody kens that he lies there

But his hawk, his hound and his lady fair

His hawk, his hound and his lady fair

His hawk is tae the hunting gane

His hound, to bring a' wild fowl hame

His lady's ta'en another mate

So we can mak' our dinner sweet

So we can mak' our dinner sweet

It's you'll sit on his white horse bane

And I'll pick out his bonny blue e'en

Wi' a lock of his gowden hair

We'll thak our nest fan it grows bare

We'll thak our nest fan it grows bare

There's mony's an ane now for him makes mane

But naebody kens where he has gane

Through his bare bones as they lie bare

The wind will blow aye forever mare

The wind will blow aye forever mare
