The Two Ravens (Twa Corbies)
(traditional. Translated and arrang. J. Ferguson, 2019)

V1.
Em D Em
As I was walking all alone
Em Bm Em
I heard two ravens making moan.
G D
The one unto the other did say, O,
Em D Em
“Where shall we go and dine today, O?
Em Bm Em
Where shall we go and dine today?”

V2.
“It's in behind yon old turf dyke:
I know there is a new-slain knight.
Nobody knows that he lies there, O,
but his hawk and his hound and his lady fair, O.
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair.

V3.
“His hound unto the hunting's gone,
his hawk to fetch the wild-fowl home.
His lady's taken another mate, O,
so we may make our dinner sweet, O,
so we may make our dinner sweet.

V4.
“You'll sit on his collarbone,
and I'll pick out his bonnie blue eyes.
With a lock of his golden hair, O,
we'll thatch our nest when it grows bare, O,
we'll thatch our nest when it grows bare.

V5.
“There's many a one for him makes moan,
but none shall know where he has gone.
And o'er his white bones when they are bare, O,
the wind shall blow for evermore, O,
the wind shall blow for evermore.”
