The Magpie Lyrics

The magpie is a most illustrious bird
dwells in a diamond tree
one brings sorrow and one brings joy
sorrow and joy for me

The magpie is a most royal bird
black and blue as nightDonovan Leitch - The Magpie - http://motolyrics.com/donovan-leitch/the-magpie-lyrics.html
i would that I had feathers three
black and blue and white

I saw the gentle magpie bird
in dusky yester-eve
one brought sorrow and one brought joy
and sooner than soon did leave
