The Twa Corbies

Asonance

             Dmi    C     Dmi 
1. As I was walking all alane 
                          C      Dmi 
   I heard twa corbies makin' a mane 
               F                 C 
   the tane intae the tither say oh 
      Dmi                   C        Dmi 
   "Whaur sall we gang and dine the day oh 
                           C        Dmi 
   whaur sall we gang and dine the day?" 
2. "It's in ahint yon auld fail dyke 
   I wot there lies a new slain knight 
   naebody kens that he lies there oh 
   but his hawk and his hound and his lady fair oh 
   his hawk and his hound and his lady fair." 
3. "His hound is to the hunting gane 
   his hawk to fetch the wild-fowl hame 
   his lady's ta'en anither mate oh 
   so we may mak our dinner swate oh 
   so we may mak our dinner swate." 
4. "It's ye'll sit on his white hause-bane 
   and I'll pike oot his bonny blue e'en 
   wi' ae lock o' his gouden hair oh 
   we'll theek oor nest when it grows bare oh 
   we'll theek oor nest when it grows bare." 
5. "There's mony a ane for him maks mane 
   but nane sall ken whaur he is gane 
   and o'er his banes when they lie bare oh 
   the wind sall blaw for evermair oh 
   the wind sall blaw for evermair."
