Thread Name: 10 of the Most Disturbing Folk Songs - BBC
Subject: RE: 10 of the Most Disturbing Folk Songs - BBC
Today was a day of much bus travel (seven hours) and suddenly thought - I remember one song that wasn't mentioned on the Most Disturbing thread: Twa Corbies (as I know it), close kin to The Three Ravens. Don't know how I forgot about it.

Ye'll sit on his white haus-bane
And I'll peck out his bonny blue een
Wi mony a lock of his gowden hair
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare

Oversight now corrected.
