Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEE AFGH AAEE AAEEAs I was walking all alane | A |
I heard twa corbies making a mane | A |
The tane unto the t'other say | B |
Where sall we gang and dine to day | B |
- | |
In behint yon auld fail dyke | C |
I wot there lies a new slain knight | D |
And naebody kens that he lies there | E |
But his hawk his hound and lady fair | E |
- | |
His hound is to the hunting gane | A |
His hawk to fetch the wild fowl hame | F |
His lady's ta'en another mate | G |
So we may mak our dinner sweet | H |

Ye'll sit on his white hause bane | A |
And I'll pick out his bonnie blue een | A |
Wi' ae lock o' his gowden hair | E |
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare | E |
- | |
Mony a one for him makes mane | A |
But nane sall ken where he is gane | A |
O'er his white banes when they are bare | E |
The wind sall blaw for evermair | E |
