1 | 1 | As I was walking all alane, | |
2 | 2 | I heard twa corbies making a mane; | |
3 | 3 | The tane unto the t'other say, | |
4 | 4 | W | 'Where sall we gang and dine today?' |
5 | Then one of them said to his mate: | ||
6 | "Where shall we our breakfast take?" | ||
7 | With a down derry derry derry down down. | ||
8 | 5 | ||
9 | 6 | "In behint yon auld fail dyke, | |
10 | 7 | I wot there lies a new-slain knight; | |
11 | 8 | And naebody kens that he lies there, | |
12 | 9 | But his hawk, his hound, and his lady fair. | |
13 | His hounds they lie down at his feet, | ||
14 | So well they can their master keep. | ||
15 | With a down derry derry derry down down. | ||
16 | 10 | ||
17 | 11 | His h | His hound is to the hunting gane, |
18 | 12 | His hawk, to fetch the wild-fowl hame, | |
19 | 13 | His lady's ta'en another mate, | |
20 | 14 | So we may make our dinner sweet. | |
21 | But down there comes a fallow doe, | ||
22 | As great with young as she might go. | ||
23 | With a down derry derry derry down down. | ||
24 | 15 | ||
25 | 16 | Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane, | |
26 | 17 | And I'll pike out his bonny blue e'en; | |
27 | 18 | Wi' ae lock o' his gowden hair | |
28 | 19 | W | We'll theek our nest when it grows bare. |
29 | She got him up upon her back | ||
30 | And carried him to an earthen lake. | ||
31 | With a down derry derry derry down down. | ||
32 | 20 | ||
33 | 21 | Many a one for him makes mane, | |
34 | 22 | But nane sall ken whare he is gane: | |
35 | 23 | O'er his white banes, when they are bare, | |
36 | 24 | The wind sall blaw for evermair." | |
37 | Now God send every gentleman | ||
38 | Such hounds, such hawks and such a leman. | ||
39 | With a down derry derry derry down down. |
