An Arthur Rackham illustration for “The Twa Corbies,” or two crows, a Scottish version of the same ballad.

The THREE Crows

A VERSION OF THE OLD ENGLISH BALLAD “THE THREE RAVENS,”

AS SUNG IN THE CAROLINAS IN THE 1880S

There were three crows sat on a tree,

And they were black as they could be.

Said one old crow unto his mate,

“What shall we do for something to eat?”

“There lies a horse on yonders plain

Who’s by some cruel butcher slain

“We’ll perch ourselves on his backbone,

And eat his eyeballs one by one.”
