The two ravens

Lyrics

[Refrain] As I was walking all alone I heard two ravens cry and moan The one then to the other did say-o "Where shall we go and dine today-o?" "Where shall we go and dine today?" [Strophe 1] "You see the old wall there behind I sense there lies a new slain knight And no one 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" [Instrumental] [Strophe 2] "His hound has to the hunting gone His hawk to fetch the wild fowl home His lady's taken another man-o So we may make a dinner sweet-o So we may makе a dinner sweet" [Strophe 3] "And you sit on his white neck bonе And I'll peck out his eyes so blue With one lock of his golden hair-o We'll fetch our nest when it grows bare-o We'll fetch our nest when it grows bare" [Instrumental] [Strophe 4] "Many a one for him will mourn But no one knows where he has gone Oh his white bones, when they are barrow The wind will blow forever more-o The wind will blow forever more" [Instrumental] [Refrain] As I was walking all alone I heard two ravens cry and moan The one then to the other did say-o "Where shall we go and dine today-o?" "Where shall we go and dine today?"
