Lyrics

As I wis walkin, oh, a-my-lane
I spied twa corbies, thay war makkin mane
And ane untae the ither did say-o
“Far will we gang, will we dine the day-o
Far will we gang, will we dine the day?”
“It's in ahint o yon auld fell dyke
I wot thare lies, oh, a new-slain knight
Naebody kens that he lies thare-o
But his hawk, his hound and his lady fair-o
His hawk, his hound and his lady fair.”
“His hawk is tae the huntin gaen
His hound tae bring aw the wildfowl hame
His lady's taen anither mate-o
So we can mak o wir dinner sweet-o
So we can mak o wir dinner sweet.”
“It's ye'll sit on his white hause-bane
And I'll pick oot his bonnie blue een
Wi a lock o his gowden hair-o
We'll thack oor nest fan it growes bare-o
We'll thack oor nest, oh, fan it growes bare.”
Thare's mony's an ane, ah, for him maks mane
But naebody kens, ah, far he has gaen
Ower his bare bones as thay lie bare-o
The wind will blaw, aye, for evermair-o
The wind will blaw, aye, for evermair
