Twa Corbiez
Omnia
As I was walking all alone
I heard two ravens cry and moan
The one onto the other did say
Where shall we go and dine today?
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
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair
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
So we may make our dinner sweet
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
We'll fix our nest when it grows bare
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
The wind will blow forever more
The wind will blow forever more
