One of my favourite songs. It features Maddy Prior on lead vocals and Gay Woods on backing vocals. It was first recorded by them in 1970 for Hark! The Village Wait and then again in 1995 as "Corbies" for their album Time. Intro: Am C Am
AmAs I was walking aCll alAmane AmI heard twa corbies maCkin' mAmane; And one onCtae the other did sCay, Am“Where shall we gang andC dine theAm day AmWhere shall we gang and dCine the dAmay?”
Am“In behind yonC oul failAm dyke AmI wot there lies a nCew slain knAmight; And naebody kCens that he lies thCere But his hAmawk and his hound and his laCdy fAmair, AmHis hawk and his hound and his lCady fAmair.”
AmHis hawk is tae the huCnting gAmane, AmHis hound to fetch the wilCdfowl hAmane; His lady has taCken another mCate AmSo we can make our diCnner sAmweet, AmWe can make our diCnner swAmeet”
Am“You can sit on his Cwhite breastAm bone AmAnd I'll pick out his bConny blue eAmen; And with a lCock of his yellow hCair AmWe'll theek our nest when Cit grows bAmare, AmWe'll theek our nest when Cit grows bAmare.”
Am“And many's a one forC him makesAm mane AmNaebody kens where Che has gAmane; Through his white bCones when they grow bCare AmThe wind shall blow for CevermaAmre, AmThe wind shall blow for CevermaAmre.”
