Rhyme Scheme: AABC DCEE AFCC AAEE AAECAs I was walking all alane | A |
I heard twa corbies making a mane | A |
The tane unto the t'other say | B |
quot Where sall we gang and dine to day quot | C |
- | |
quot In behint yon auld fail dyke | D |
I wot there lies a new slain knight | C |
And naebody kens that he lies there | E |
But his hawk his hound and lady fair | E |

quot His hound is to the hunting gane | A |
His hawk to fetch the wild fowl hame | F |
His lady's ta'en another mate | C |
So we may mak our dinner sweet | C |

And I'll pike out his bonny blue een | A |
Wi ae lock o his gowden hair | E |
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare | E |

quot Mony a one for him makes mane | A |
But nane sall ken where he is gane | A |
Oer his white banes when they are bare | E |
The wind sall blaw for evermair quot | C |
