the twa corbies - ivor gurney lyrics

Loading...

as i was walking all alane
i heard twa corbies making a mane;
the tane unto the t’other say
‘where sall we gang and dine today?’

“in behint yon auld fail dyk*
i wot there lies a new*slain knight;
and naebody kens that he lies there
but his hawk, his hound, and his lady fair

his hound is to the hunting gane
his hawk, to fetch the wild*fowl hame
his lady’s ta’en another mate
so we may make our dinner sweet

ye’ll sit on his white hause*bane
and i’ll pike out his bonny blue e’en;
wi’ ae lock o’ his gowden hair
we’ll theek our nest when it grows bare

many a one for him makes mane
but nane sall ken whare he is gane:
o’er his white banes, when they are bare
the wind sall blaw for evermair.”
