As I was walking all alane
I spied twa corbies making (a) mane
The tane untae the tither (did) say-o
Whaur sail we gang and dine today-o?
Whaur sail we gang and dine today?

2.
It's in ahint yon auld fail dyke
I wot there lies a new slain knight
Naebody kens 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

3.
His hound is tae the hunting gane
His hawk tae fetch the moore fowl hame
His lady's ta'en anither mate-o
So we can mak our dinner swate-o
So we can mak our dinner swate

4.
Ye'll light upon his white house bane
And I'll pick oot his bo(nny) blue e'en
Wi' ae lock o' his gowden hair-o
We'll thick oor nest where it grows bare-o
We'll thick oor nest where it grows bare

5.
There's many an ane for him maks mane
But nane sail ken where he is gane
Over his banes when they are bare-o
The wind shall blow forevermare-o
The wind shall blow forevermare
