Subject: Twa Corbies
I'm getting to grips with "Twa Corbies", having heard it on "New Boots" by Tim Van Eyken. A great little song that suits my playing well (i.e. it's easy). However, Tim Van Eyken, in his sleeve notes, makes reference to a version of the song where it is clear the "lady" within it has killed the knight herself. I've had a bit of a look round, found all manner of versions, from the crows just wittering on about their mothers, to the lady carrying the knights body and then drooping dead (harsh).

So, does any one know of a version in which the lady is blamed for the knights death ?
