Lyrics

As I was walking all a-lane I heard twa corbies making their main And tae men to the tither did say "Whaur shall we gang an' dine the day?" "In behind yon auld field-dyke A-wa there lies a new-slain knight And naebody kens that he lies there But his hokk and his hound and his lady fair" The hokk is to the hunting gane The hound to fetch the wild-fowl ane The lady's takin' anither maid So we may mak' our dinner sweet He'll sit on a white house-pain And I'll pike out his bonnie blue ane And wi' a lock o' his golden hair We'll dig our nest where it grows bare Morn is the ain for him aches main For nae ane saw ken where he is gain And ower the white pains we'll lay Yon air the winds a' blow for ever mair Morn is the ain for him aches main For nae ane saw ken where he is gain And ower the white pains we'll lay Yon air the winds a' blow for ever mair As I was walking all a-lane I heard twa corbies making their main And tae men to the tither did say "Whaur shall we gang an' dine the day?" He'll sit on a white house-pain And I'll pike out his bonnie blue ane And wi' a lock o' his golden hair We'll dig our nest where it grows bare As I was walking all a-lane I heard twa corbies making their main And tae men to the tither did say "Whaur shall we gang an' dine the day?"
