The Three Ravens (5) 
The Three Ravens (5) 
Three black crows sat on a tree Ca beelya geelya gaw ye And they were black as crows could be Ca beelya geelya gaw ye 
One black crow says unto his mate What shall we do for something to eat? 
An old red horse in yonder lane Who very lately has been slain 
We'll pick his eyes out one by one And pick the meat from off his bones * 
or: And eat its flesh until it's gone. 
Collected by Creighton and Senior from William Nelson, Nova Scotia, 1950 Apr98
