Lyrics: Jim Ghedi
Music: Jim Ghedi
As I was walking all alone,
I heard two crows a making a moan;
One said to the other, did say-O
"Where shall we go and dine the day-o?
Where shall we go and dine todayβ
"In behind that old turf wall,
I sense there lies a new slain knight;
And nobody knows that he lies there-o,
But his hawk, and his hound and his lady fair-o,
His hawk and his hound and his lady fairβ
"His hound is to the hunting gone,
His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl home,
His lady's taken another mate-o,
So we may make our dinner sweet-o,
We may make our dinner sweetβ
"You will sit on his white neck-bone,
I'll peck out his pretty blue eyes;
With one lock O'er his golden hair-o
We'll thatch our nest when it grows bare-o,
We'll thatch our nest when it grows bare.β
"Many a one for him shall moan,
But none shall know where he has gone;
O'er his white bones, when they are bare-o,
The wind shall blow for evermore-o,
The wind shall blow for evermore.β
