white hause-bane, And I'll pike out his bonny blue een; Wi ae lock o his gowden hair We'll theek our nest when it grows bare. ‘Mony a one for him makes mane, But nane sall ken where he is gane; Oer his white banes, when they are bare, The wind sall blaw for evermair.’ This ballad was one of 25 traditional works included in Ballads Weird and Wonderful (1912) and illustrated by Vernon Hill.

The album Farewell Aldebaran contains a song clearly based on Three Ravens but the lyric credits go to Judy Henske, music by Jerry Yester. In popular culture The popular American rock band The Horrible Crowes takes its name from "Twa Corbies". The song is featured in The Adventure Company's game Jack the Ripper and plays a major role in the gameplay. The song is mentioned in Diana Gabaldon's novel The Fiery Cross, when Roger MacKenzie encounters some crows in the woods. The song appears in the 1922 fantasy novel The Worm Ouroboros, by E. R. Eddison, sung by the Lady Mevrian in mourning for her lost brother. The novel was one of the favourites of J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis. Dorothy L. Sayers quotes the last two lines of the ballad in her mystery novel Clouds of Witnesses. There is a story, The 3 Ravens, in Jim Henson's HBO special The Storyteller which, despite its title, is based on the German fairy tale The Six Swans. The ballad was selected for use in the 2017 period
