about

( A pisstaking mashup by Jon Heslop of two traditional songs, Twa Corbies and The Knight on the Road)
This song is a mashup and pisstake of two well-known traditional folksongs The Knight on the Road and the Twa Corbies. The humour is probably incomprehensible unless you’re familiar with the originals but hey!

lyrics

Lyrics

Oh where are you going? said the dead knight behind the hedge;
We’re going for our lunch said the two crows and still they stood.
How’d you know I was here? said the dead knight behind the hedge
Oh we just had a hunch said the two crows and still they stood.

Where are my hounds? Said the dead knight behind the hedge.
They’re somewhere over there, said the two crows and still they stood.
And where is my wife? said the dead knight behind the hedge.
She’s buggered off somewhere said the two crows and still they stood.

Which bit will you eat first? said the dead knight behind the hedge.
We’re going to eat your tongue said the two crows and still they stood
N ng n ng n ng said the dead knight behind the hedge.
Well that was jolly fun! said the two crows and flew away.
