As I was walking all alone I heard two ravens cry and moan The one onto the other did say-o Where shall we go and dine today-o? Where shall we go and dine today? Out beyond that old high dike I know there lies a murdered knight And no-one 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 fair His hound is to the hunting gone His hawk to fetch the wild bird home His lady loves another knight-o So we may make our dinner sweet-o So we may make our dinner sweet So you may sit on his white thigh And I'll peck out his bonny blue eyes And with a lock of his golden hair-o We'll fix our nest when it grows bare-o We'll fix our nest when it grows bare There's many a one for him does moan But none will know where he is gone And o'er his bones when they lie bare-o The wind will blow forever more-o The wind will blow forever more
