Lyrics
As I was walking all alane.
I heard twa corbies making a mane.
The tane unto the t'other say.
‘Where sall we gang and dine to-day.’
‘Where sall we gang and dine to-day.’
The tane unto the t'other say.
I wot there lies a new slain knight;
And naebody kens that he lies ther.
But his hawk, his hound, and lady fair.’
But his hawk, his hound, and lady fair.’
His falcon is catching birds for others.
His hounds are chasing foxes and rabbits for others.
His wife cheated on him before anyone else, Now he's a new lover's partner.
So We can have a good meal today.
So We can have a good meal today.
‘Ye’ll sit on his white hause-bane,
And I'll pike out his bonny blue een;
Wi'ae Iock o' his gowden hair.
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare.
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare.
‘Mony a one for him makes mane.
But nane sall ken where he is gane;
Oer his white banes, when they are bane.
The wind sall blaw for evermair.’
The wind sall blaw for evermair.
I heard twa corbies making a mane.
The tane unto the t'other say.
‘Where sall we gang and dine to-day.’
‘Where sall we gang and dine to-day.’
The tane unto the t'other say.
I wot there lies a new slain knight;
And naebody kens that he lies ther.
But his hawk, his hound, and lady fair.’
But his hawk, his hound, and lady fair.’
His falcon is catching birds for others.
His hounds are chasing foxes and rabbits for others.
His wife cheated on him before anyone else, Now he's a new lover's partner.
So We can have a good meal today.
So We can have a good meal today.
‘Ye’ll sit on his white hause-bane,
And I'll pike out his bonny blue een;
Wi'ae Iock o' his gowden hair.
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare.
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare.
‘Mony a one for him makes mane.
But nane sall ken where he is gane;
Oer his white banes, when they are bane.
The wind sall blaw for evermair.’
The wind sall blaw for evermair.
