Twa Corbiez Omnia

As I was walking all alone
I heard two ravens cry and moan
The one onto the other did say-o
Where shall we go and dine today-o?
Where shall we go and dine today?

Out beyond that old high dike
I know there lies a murdered knight
And no-one knows 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 to the hunting gone
His hawk to fetch the wild bird home
His lady loves another knight-o
So we may make our dinner sweet-o
So we may make our dinner sweet

So you may sit on his white thigh
And I’ll peck out his bonny blue eyes
And with a lock of his golden hair-o
We’ll fix our nest when it grows bare-o
We’ll fix our nest when it grows bare

There’s many a one for him does moan
But none will know where he is gone
And o’er his bones when they lie bare-o
The wind will blow forever more-o
The wind will blow forever more
