Twa Corbies Lyrics by John Fleagle

World’s Bliss: Medieval Songs of Love and Death

0

As I was walking all alane
I spied twa corbies makin a mane;
The tane unto the t'ither say
"Whar shall we gang and dine the day-o
Whar shall we gang and dine the day?"
"In behind yon auld fail dyke
I wot ther lies a new slain knight;
Naebody kens that he lies ther-o
But his hawk, his hound, and his lady fair
His hawk and his hound and his lady fair."
"His hound is to the hunting gane
His hawk to fetch the muir-fowl hame
His lady's ta'en anither mate
Sae, we may mak our dinner sweet-o
Sae, we may mak our dinner sweet."
"Ye'll light upon his white haus-bane
And I'll pyke out his bonny blue een;
Wi many a lock o' his yellow hair
We'll theek our nest where it grows bare
We'll theek our nest where it grows bare."
"Many a ane for him maks mane
But nane shall ken whar he is gane;
O'er his white banes, whan they are bare
The wind sall blaw for ever mair-o
The wind sall blaw for ever mair."
