The Magpie lyrics

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
