Sol Invictus - Twa Corbies lyrics

As I was walking all alone I heard twa corbies making a moan The one unto the other did say-o 'Where shall we go and dine today-o? 'Where shall we go and dine today?' 'In behind yon old turf dyke 'I know 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 'Hawk and his hound and his lady fair. 'His hound is to the hunting gone, 'His hawk to fetch the wildfowl home, 'His lady's taken another mate-o 'So we may make our dinner sweet-o 'We may make our dinner sweet. 'You'll sit on his white neck bone, 'And I'll pick out his bonny blue een; 'With one lock of his golden hair-o 'We'll thatch our nest when it grows bare-o 'Thatch our nest when it grows bare. 'Many a one for him makes moan 'But none shall know where he is gone; 'O'er his white bones when they are bare-o 'The wind shall blow foe evermore-o 'Wind shall blow for evermore.
