The Twa Corbies
Vocabulary
As I was walking all a lane'
I heard twa corbies makin' a'mane ahint-behind
The tane unto the tither did say O. ane-one
Whaur shall we gang and dine the day O anither-another
Oh whaur shall we gang and dine the day? auld-old
banes=bones
blaw-blow
It's in ahint yon auld fail dyke Corbies-crows
I wot there lies a new slain knight; e'en-eye
and naebody kens that he lies there O evermair-evermore
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair O fail-dirt wall
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair. gane-gone gang-go
hame-home
His hound is to the hunting gane hause-bane-breastbone
His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl hame kens-knows
His lady ta'en anither mate O lane-lone
So we may mak' our dinner swate O mane-noise
So we may mak' our dinner swate. mony-many
oot-out
Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane, pike-poke
And I'll pike oot his bonny blue e'en tane -one
Wi' ae lock o' his gowden hair O theek-thatch
We'll theek oor nest when it grows bare O tither-other
We'll theek oor nest when it grows bare. twa-two
wi'-with
There's mony a ane for him maks mane wot-know--(what)
But nane shall ken whaur he is gane
O'er his white banes when they are bare O
The wind shall blaw for evermair, O
The wind shall blaw for evermair.
