As I was walking all alane
I spied twa corbies making mane
The tane unto the t'other did say-o
Where shall we gang and dine today-o?
Where shall we gang and dine today-o?

Down behind yon auld fail dyke
I wot there lies a new slain knight
Nobody kens that he lies there-o
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair-o
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair-o

His hound is to the hunting gang
His hawk to fetch the moore fowl hame
His lady's ta'en another mate-o
Say, we may mak our dinner sweet-o
Say, we may mak our dinner sweet-o

You light upon his white house bane
And I'll pick out his bonny bluе eye'n
With many a lock of his yellow hair-o
Wе'll thick our nest where it grow's bare-o
We'll thick our nest where it grow's bare-o

Many a one for him maks mane
But none shall ken where he has gang
Or his white bones when they are bare-o
The wind shall blow forevermare-o
The wind shall blow forevermare-o
As I was walking all alane
I spied twa corbies making mane
The tane unto the t'other did say-o
Where shall we gang and dine today-o?
Where shall we gang and dine today-o?
