As I was walking, oh a' my lane
I spied twa corbies, they were makin' mane
And een ontae the other did say-o
"Where will we gang? Will we dine the day-o?
Where will we gang? Will we dine the day?"
It's in ahind yon oul fail d***
I wot there lies, oh a new-slain knight
Naebody kens that he lies there-o
But his hawk, his hound and his lady fair-o
His hawk, his hound and his lady fair
His hawk is tae the hunting gane
His hound, to bring a' wild fowl hame
His lady's ta'en another mate-o
So we can mak' our dinner sweet-o
So we can mak' our dinner sweet
It's you'll sit on his white horse bane
And I'll pick out his bonny blue e'en
Wi' a lock of his gowden hair-o
We'll thak our nest fan it grows bare-o
We'll thak our nest oh fan it grows bare
There's mony's an ane now for him makes mane
But naebody kens for where he has gane
Through his bare bones as they lie bare-o
The wind will blow aye forever mare-o
The wind will blow aye forever mare
I spied twa corbies, they were makin' mane
And een ontae the other did say-o
"Where will we gang? Will we dine the day-o?
Where will we gang? Will we dine the day?"
It's in ahind yon oul fail d***
I wot there lies, oh a new-slain knight
Naebody kens that he lies there-o
But his hawk, his hound and his lady fair-o
His hawk, his hound and his lady fair
His hawk is tae the hunting gane
