Lyrics

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."
