[Verse 1]
As I was walking all alane
I spied twa corbies making a mane
And one to the other did say-o:
"Where shall we go and dine the-day-o?
Where shall we go and dine the-day?"

[Verse 2]
"Oh behint yon auld fail dyke
I wot there lies a new slain knight
And nobody knows that he lies there
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair-er
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair"

[Verse 3]
"His hawk is to the hunting gone
His hound to fetch the wild-fowl home
His lady ta’en another mate
So we may make our dinner sweet-o
Oh we may make our dinner sweet"

[Verse 4]
"'Yе’ll sit on his white hause-bane
And I'll pеck out his bonny blue een
Wi ae lock of his gowden hair
We'll fetch our nest where it grows bare
We'll fetch our nest where it grows bare"

[Verse 5]
"And many a one for him makes mane
But nobody know where he has gone
And through his white bones, when they are bare
The wind will blow for evermore-o
Yes, the wind will blow for evermore
The wind will blow for evermore-o
The wind will blow for evermore"
