The Magpie
Donovan Leitch
The Magpie is a most illustrious bird
dwells in a diamond tree
one brings sorrow and one brings joy
sorry and joy for me
The Magpie is a most royal bird
black and blue as night
I would that I had feathers three
black and blue and white
I saw the gentle Magpie bird
in the dusky yestereve
one brings sorrow and one brings joy
sorrow and joy for me....
sorrow and joy for me....
The Magpie is a most illustrious bird
dwells in a diamond tree
one brings sorrow and one brings joy
sorry and joy for me
one brings sorrow and one brings joy
sorry and joy for me
