Twa corbies - Two Ravens, English folk ballad, Pied Pipers.

Twa Corbies (Two Ravens) is a haunting Scottish folk ballad, first published in a song book in 1611. This version is the best, in my opinion, because of the 'poliphonic' introduction, because the arrangement is great, and because there is a beautiful reed-pipe solo in the end. The text runs approximately as it follows*** (I know the version you're listening to is quite different, but I'm not an English native speaker, so I didn't dare 'correct' the differences relying on what I hear): As I was walking all alane, I heard twa corbies making a mane; The tane unto the t'other say, 'Where sall we gang and dine to-day?' 'In behint yon auld fail dyke, I wot there lies a new slain knight; And naebody kens that he lies there, But his hawk, his hound, and lady fair. 'His hound is to the hunting gane, His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl hame, His lady's ta'en another mate, So we may mak our dinner sweet. 'Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane, And I'll pike out his bonny blue een; Wi ae lock o his gowden hair We'll theek our nest when it grows bare. 'Mony a one for him makes mane, But nane sall ken where he is gane; Oer his white banes, when they are bare, The wind sall blaw for evermair.' ***Source: Wikipedia.
