As I was walking all alone
I heard two ravens cry and moan
The one then to the other did say-o
"Where shall we go and dine today-o?"
"Where shall we go and dine today?"

"You see the old wall there behind
I sense there lies a new slain knight
And no one knows that he lies there-o
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair-o
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair"

"His hound has to the hunting gone
His hawk to fetch the wild fowl home
His lady's taken another man-o
So we may make a dinner sweet-o
So we may make a dinner sweet"

"And you sit on his white neck bone
And I'll peck out his eyes so blue
With one lock of his golden hair-o
We'll fetch our nest when it grows bare-o
We'll fetch our nest when it grows bare"

"Many a one for him will mourn
But no one knows where he has gone
Oh, his white bones, when they are barrow
The wind will blow forever more-o
The wind will blow forever more"

As I was walking all alone
I heard two ravens cry and moan
The one then to the other did say-o
"Where shall we go and dine today-o?"
"Where shall we go and dine today?"
