Three craws

Three craws sat upon a wall, or here upon a wire, is a traditional Scots song for children. The words are below, or you can listen to the song here.

Three craws sat upon a waa, Sat upon a waa
Sat upon a waa
Three craws sat upon a waa On a cauld an frosty mornin.
The first craw wis greetin for his ma Greetin for his ma
Greetin for his ma.
The first craw wis greetin for his ma On a cauld an frosty mornin
The second craw fell an broke his jaa, Fell an broke his jaa
Fell an broke his jaa
The second craw fell an broke his jaa On a cauld an frosty mornin.
The third craw cudna flee at aa Cudna flee at aa
Cudna flee at aa
The third craw cudna flee at aa On a cauld an frosty mornin
The fourth craw wisna there at aa Wisna there at aa
Wis na there at aa
The fourth craw wisna there at aa On a cauld an frosty mornin.
That's aa I ken aboot the craws I ken aboot the craws
I ken aboot the craws
That's aa I ken aboot the craws On a cauld an frosty mornin
