They biggit a bower on yon burn-brae,
And theekit it oer wi' rashes.
THE THREE RAVENS[90]
1. There were three ravens sat on a tree,
Downe a downe, hay down, hay downe[91],
There were three ravens sat on a tree, With a downe.
There were three ravens sat on a tree,
They were as blacke as they might be.
With a downe derrie, derrie, derrie, downe, downe.
