[Verse 1

As I was walkin' o'er yon hill

Down by the wild wood shady

Two corbies held a quiet thrill

'Bout the fate of a fallen lady

[Verse 2

One said to the other true

\"Where shall we dine today?\"

Behind this fell

'neath skies so blue

A knight in blood does lay

[Chorus

On his grave the grasses grow

No more sword

No more shield

While lonesome pipes doth wail and blow

He's lying in the field

[Verse 3

His hound lies down but will not bark

His hawk flies high

Forsaken

His lady's in another's arms

While his soul by death is taken

[Verse 4

Down in a ditch

Unmarked and low

The worms

They’ve had their fill

No stone to tell

No name to show

Just silence on the hill

[Chorus

On his grave the grasses grow

No more sword

No more shield

While lonesome pipes doth wail and blow

He's lying in the field
