Twa Corbies by Steeleye Span
Twa Corbies
Intro: Em D Em
Em D Em
As I was walking all alane
Em D Em
I heard twa corbies makin' mane;
G D
And one ontae the other did say,
Em D Em
“Where shall we gang and dine the day
Em D Em
Where shall we gang and dine the day?”
Em D Em
“In behind yon oul fail dyke
Em D Em
I wot there lies a new slain knight;
G D
And naebody kens that he lies there
Em D Em
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair,
Em D Em
His hawk and his hound and his lady fair.”
Em D Em
His hawk is tae the hunting gane,
Em D Em
His hound to fetch the wildfowl hane;
G D
His lady has taken another mate
Em D Em
So we can make our dinner sweet,
Em D Em
We can make our dinner sweet”
Em D Em
“You can sit on his white breast bone
Em D Em
And I'll pick out his bonny blue een;
G D
And with a lock of his yellow hair
Em G Em
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare,
Em G Em
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare.”
Em D Em
“And many's a one for him makes mane
Em D Em
Naebody kens where he has gane;
G D
Through his white bones when they grow bare
Em D Em
The wind shall blow for evermare,
Em D Em
The wind shall blow for evermare.”
