XII. THE THREE RAVENS [Motherwell's Minstrelsy, Appendix, p. xviii, No XII.]
Is given from the singing of a traditionary version of the ballad very popular in Scotland, and the words of which set differ little from those given in Ritson's " Ancient Song."
Three ravens sat upon a tree,
Hey down, hey deny day,
Three ravens sat upon a tree, hey down,
Three ravens sat upon a tree,
And they were black as black could be,
And sing lay doo and la doo and day.
