This week’s rhyme of the week will be ‘Three Craws’ – a traditional Scots rhyme.

Three Craws

Three craws sat upon a wa’,
Sat upon a wa’, sat upon a wa’, aw, aw, aw,
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, aw, aw, aw,
The first craw was greetin’ for his maw,
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.

The second craw fell and brok’ his jaw,
Fell and brok’ his jaw, fell and brok’ his jaw, aw, aw, aw
The second craw fell and brok’ his jaw,
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.

The third craw, couldnae flee at a’,
Couldnae flee at a’, couldnae flee at a’, aw, aw, aw,
The third craw, couldnae flee at a’,
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.

The fourth craw wisnae there at a’
Wisnae there at a’, wisnae there at a’, aw, aw, aw
The forth craw wisnae there at a’
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.
