The Twa Corbies - Old Blind Dogs

As I was walking all alane

I spied twa corbies makkin a mane;

Tha tain unto the other ane say-o

«Where sall we gang and dine the day-o

«Where sall we gang and dine the day-o?»

«It's in ahint yon auld fail dyke

I wot there lies a new-slain knight;

And naebody kens 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.-o»

«His hawk is tae the huntin gane

His hound tae fetch the wildfowl hame;

His lady’s ta’en another mate-o

Sae we mun mak our dinner sweet-o

We mun mak our dinnr sweet-o.»

«Ye'll light upon his white hause-ban

And I’ll dig oot his bonny blue een;

Wi many a lock of his yellow hair-o

We’ll theek our nest where it grows bare-o

Theek our nest where it grows bare-o.»

«There's mony a ane for him maks mane

But nane sall ken where he is gane;

And o’er his white bones when they lay bare-o

The wind sall blaw for evermair-o

The wind sall blow for evermair.-o»

As I was walking all alane

I spied twa corbies makkin a mane;

Tha tain unto the other ane say-o

«Where sall we gang and dine the day-o

«Where sall we gang and dine the day-o?»
