Twa Lawyers
	to the tune of Three Ravens

As I was walking all a lain.
I saw twa lawyers macking main,
The tain of them to the tither did say, oh
Where shall we gang and dine today, oh
Where shall we gang and dine today.

Zounds,  said the client, who was cast,
How could you two be friends so fast!
You were such foes the other day, oh,
When one of you was in my pay, oh
 One of you was in my pay

The lawyers said: "you are a fool..
We are like shears for cutting wool.
We never cut the other blade, oh,
But only what's between us laid, oh
only what's between us laid.

So should we filkers, like these be,
So like the lawyers should we be.
Cutting all that we need away, oh
And dining when we've had our say, oh
Dining when we've had our say.

As I was walking all a lain.
I saw twa filkers macking main,
The tain of them to the tither did say, oh
Where shall we two dine today, oh
Where shall we two dine today.
