<song> | |||
Three ravens sat upon a tree | Three ravens sat upon a tree | ||
''Hey doun hey derrie day'' | ''Hey doun hey derrie day'' | ||
Three ravens sat upon a tree | Three ravens sat upon a tree | ||
''Hey doun'' | ''Hey doun'' | ||
Three ravens sat upon a tree | Three ravens sat upon a tree | ||
And they were black as black could be | And they were black as black could be | ||
''And sing la do an la do a day'' | ''And sing la do an la do a day'' | ||
The middle ane said tae his mate | The middle ane said tae his mate | ||
"Oh where shall we our dinner get?" | "Oh where shall we our dinner get?" | ||
"Well, it's doun intae yon grass green field | "Well, it's doun intae yon grass green field | ||
There lies a knight that's newly killed" | There lies a knight that's newly killed" | ||
And his horse is standing at his side | And his horse is standing at his side | ||
And thinks he might get up and ride | And thinks he might get up and ride | ||
And his hounds are lying at his feet | And his hounds are lying at his feet | ||
And they lick his wounds sae sore and deep | And they lick his wounds sae sore and deep | ||
There came a lady full of woe | There came a lady full of woe | ||
As big wi' child as she could go | As big wi' child as she could go | ||
And she's stretched hersel' doon at his side | And she's stretched hersel' doon at his side | ||
And for the love of him she's died | And for the love of him she's died | ||

There are various versions of this song that are suitable for several nations if tweaked to fit that nation's style.
Marches/Dawn/League/Highguard version (does not have to be in a Scottish dialect!)
listen/buy Malinky's version here
Three ravens sat upon a tree Hey doun hey derrie day Three ravens sat upon a tree Hey doun Three ravens sat upon a tree And they were black as black could be And sing la do an la do a day
The middle ane said tae his mate "Oh where shall we our dinner get?"
"Well, it's doun intae yon grass green field There lies a knight that's newly killed"
And his horse is standing at his side And thinks he might get up and ride
And his hounds are lying at his feet And they lick his wounds sae sore and deep
There came a lady full of woe As big wi' child as she could go
And she's stretched hersel' doon at his side And for the love of him she's died
Wintermark/Navarr/Varushka version
