The Magpie Songtext
von Donovan

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...
