Twa Craws

Three craws sat upon a wa',
Sat upon a wa', sat upon a wa',
Three craws sat upon a wa',
On a cauld and frosty mornin'.

The first craw was greetin' for his maw,
Greetin' for his maw, greetin' for his maw,
The first craw was greetin' for his maw,
On a cauld and frosty mornin'.

The second craw fell and broke his jaw,
Fell and broke his jaw, fell and broke his jaw,
The second craw fell and broke his jaw,
On a cauld and frosty mornin'.

The third craw, couldnae caw at a',
Couldnae caw at a', couldnae caw at a',
The third craw, couldnae caw at a',
On a cauld and frosty mornin'.

The fourth craw he wisnae there at a'
Wisnae there at a', wisnae there at a'
The fourth craw he wisnae there at a'
On a cauld and frosty mornin.

The third craw wasn't there either in Eskbank on this cold and frosty morning but he used to be.
The first crow is probably crying not only for his mother but also for his friend who has obviously been taken to a new home, against his will, no doubt. Perhaps the fact that he couldn't make any sound helped him to be captured.

(I am going to do an occasional series of animal and bird models. pictures and sculptures and start to tag them now although I've already done 12 before. This is Birds 10)
