- ‘The Twa Corbies’

There were three rauens sat on a tree,
downe a downe, hay downe, hay downe,
There were three rauens sat on a tree,
with a downe,
There were three rauens sat on a tree,
They were as blacke as they might be.
With a downe, derrie, derrie, derrie, downe, downe.


- 'Three Mowers'

They were three bonny mowers,
Were mowing half the day;
They were three bonny lasses
A-making of the hay.
