Well, here's the Broomhill version, or at least my dad's

Three craas sat upon a waal
Sat upon a waal, sat upon a waaal
Three craas sat upon a waal
On a caad and frosty morning

First craa craaing for his ma
Craaing for his ma, craaing for his maaaa
First craa craaing for his ma
On a caad and frosty morning

Second craa craaing for his pa
Craaing for his pa, craaing for his paaa
Second craa craaing for his pa
On a caad and frosty morning

Third craa couldn't craa at all
couldn't craa at all couldn't craa at all
Third craa couldn't craa at all
On a caad and frosty morning.
