B 01 Twa Corbies
Child - #26
As I was waukin' all alone
I heard twa corbies makin' a moan
And one unto the other did say
Whaur shall we gang and dine today O?
Whaur shall we gang and dine today.
In behind yon auld feld dyke
I wot there lies a new slain knight
And no one kens that he lies there
But his hawk and hound and Lady fair O
His hawk and hound and Lady fair
His hound is to the huntin' gone
His hawk tae bring th' wyld fowl haem
His Wife's ta'en another mate
So we may mak' our dinner sweet O
We may mak' our dinner sweet
And You can sit on his white breast bone
And I'll pluck out his bonny blue e'en
And with a lock of his golden hair
We’ll theek our nest when it grows bare O
Theek our nest when it grows bare
There's mony a one for him mak's mane
but no one kens whaur he has gone
And through his bones when they are bare O
The wynd sall blaw forever mair O
The wynd sall blaw forever mair
