Two ravens sitting in a tree They were just as high As they could be Two ravens waved at me They were just as black As they could be
Slowly one turned and whispered My love, my love Where shall we find our supper tonight?
Down down derry derry down Derry derry down Down down derry derry down Derry derry down
In, she said, in yonder field Lies a knight Dead 'neath his shield You can gnash at his white thighs I will pluck out his eyes And his noble blood Will make us fly so high
Down down derry derry down Derry derry down Down down derry derry down Derry derry down
Far away a young maid cries Begging and begging and pleading With countryside Above her head two ravens fly Oh, down, ever down, ever down, ever down One day in a field you will lie And you'll be by his side
Down down derry derry down Derry derry down Down down derry derry down Derry derry down
Queen, high in your castle Your heart is only half with you today Today
Your tears soaking the stone Above your head two ravens fly I am home, home I am home, home I am home
