E5                D5    E5
As I was walking all alane
E5                    D5     E5
I heard twa corbies makin' mane;
          G5                  D5
And one ontae the other did say,
E5                        D5        E5
?Where shall we gang and dine the day
E5                       D5        E5
Where shall we gang and dine the day??


E5              D5        E5
?In behind yon oul fail dyke
E5                  D5          E5
I wot there lies a new slain knight;
             G5                  D5
And naebody kens that he lies there
         E5                          D5   E5
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair,
E5                              D5    E5
His hawk and his hound and his lady fair.?


E5                    D5      E5
His hawk is tae the hunting gane,
E5                        D5      E5
His hound to fetch the wildfowl hane;
               G5            D5
His lady has taken another mate
E5                   D5     E5
So we can make our dinner sweet,
E5                D5      E5
We can make our dinner sweet?


E5                    D5           E5
?You can sit on his white breast bone
E5                     D5          E5
And I'll pick out his bonny blue een;
            G5                  D5
And with a lock of his yellow hair
E5                        G5         E5
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare,
E5                        G5         E5
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare.?


E5                     D5         E5
?And many's a one for him makes mane
E5                 D5       E5
Naebody kens where he has gane;
                   G5                    D5
Through his white bones when they grow bare
E5                      D5     E5
The wind shall blow for evermare,
E5                      D5     E5
The wind shall blow for evermare.?
