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 birds In dusky yestereve One brought sorrow and one brought joy And sooner than soon did leave The Magpie is a most illustrious bird Dwells in a diamond tree One brings sorrow and one brings joy Sorrow and joy for me.... Sorrow and joy for me....
