Hawk and Crow - Emily Smith

Said the hawk unto the crow one day

Oh how can you in mourning stay

I was once in love but I did prove slack

And ever since I wear the black

I was once in love but I did prove slack

And ever since I wear the black

The next to speak was willie wagtail

I was once in love but I did prevail

I was once in love but I did prevail

And ever since I wag my tail

I was once in love but I did prevail

And ever since I wag my tail

Then up and spoke the little brown thrush

She was sitting in yon holly bush

Oh the way to love I heard them say

Is to court all night and to sleep all day

Oh the way to love I heard them say

Is to court all night and to sleep all day

And the last to speak was jenny wren

Do you know what I'd do if I were a man

In case that one should wriggle and go

I'd wear two strings all upon my bow

In case that one should wriggle and go

I'd wear two strings all upon my bow
