Two Ravens

Lyrics

As I was walking all alone I heard two ravens having a moan And one to the other did say "Where shall we go and dine today?" "Out behind that fallen dyke There lies the body of a murdered knight And nobody knows he lies there Save his hawk, his hound, his lady fair" Two ravens Two ravens "His hound has to the hunting gone His hawk to bring the fowl home His lady's laying with his mate So his corpse is now our dinner plate" Two ravens Two ravens "So you sit on his white breast bone And I'll peck out his two blue eyes And with a lock of his golden hair We'll mend our nest when it grows bare" Two ravens Two ravens "And many people will call him on home But none will know where he has gone And through his bones when they are bare The wind will blow forever there" Two ravens Two ravens
