Twa Corbies

As I was walking all alane,
I heard twa corbies making a mane;
The tane unto the t'other say, O,
'Where sall we gang and dine to-day, O?'
'Where sall we gang and dine to-day?'
 
'In behint you yon auld fail dyke,
I wot there lies a new slain knight;
And naebody kens that he lies there O,
But his hawk, his hound, and lady fair, O.
But his hawk, his hound, and lady fair.
 
'His hound is to the hunting gane,
His hawk to fetch the wild fowl hame,
His Lady's ta'en another mate, O
So we may mak our dinner sweet, O.
So we may mak our dinner sweet.
 
'Ye'll sit on his white hause bane,
And I'll pike out his bonny blue een;
Wi ae lock o his gowden hair, O
We'll, theek our nest when it grows bare, O.
We'll, theek our nest when it grows bare.
 
'Mony a one for him makes mane,
But nane sall ken where he is gane;
Oer his white banes, when they are bare, O
The wind sall blaw for evermair, O.'
The wind sall blaw for evermair.'
 

Two Ravens

As I was walking all alone,
I heard two ravens making woeful cries;
The one unto the other said, Oh,
'Where will we go and eat today, Oh?'
'Where will we go and eat today?'
 
'There behind you beyond an old sod mound,
I know there lies a newly slain knight;
And no one knows that he lies there, Oh,
But his hawk, his dog, and his pretty wife, Oh.
But his hawk, his dog, and his pretty wife.
 
'His dog is out hunting - gone,
His hawk to bring a wild bird home,
His wife has found another mate, Oh
So we will have our great feast, Oh.
So we will have our great feast.
 
'You'll sit upon his white neck bone.
And I'll pick out his lovely blue eyes;
With a tuft of his golden hair, Oh
We'll thatch our nest when it gets bare, Oh.
We'll thatch our nest when it gets bare.
 
'There are many that mourn for him,
But none will know where he has gone;
Over his white bones, after we make them bare, Oh
The wind will blow forevermore, Oh.'
The wind will blow forevermore.'

The mound is earthen, a wall would be brick or stone.
A hawk and a hound are used for hunting and protection.
A knight would have a manor and a wife. The wife would manage the estate in his absence.
Forevermore is forever, for an eternity.
