Rogers Sally - The Magpie слова песни
THE MAGPIE(A) Dm Am / Dm Am Dm Am / Am Dm Am / Am Dm Am DmThe magpie brings us tidingsOf news both fair and foul;She`s more cunning than the raven,More wise than any owl.She brings us news of the harvestOf barley, wheat, and corn.She knows when we`ll go to our gravesHow we shall be born. Dm Am / Dm Am Dm Am / Dm A / Dm Am Dm One`s for sorrow, Two`s for joy, Three`s for a girl and four`s for a boy. Five for silver, Six for gold, And seven for a secret never told. Dm - Am G Am / Dm - Am Dm / Dm Am G Dm Devil, devil, I defy thee. Devil, devil, I defy thee. Devil, devil, I defy thee.She brings us joy when from the right,Grief when from the left.Of all the news that`s in the airWe know to trust her best.For she sees us at our labor,And she mocks us at our work.She steals the egg from out of the nest,And she can mob the hawk. CHORUSThe priest, he says we`re wicketTo worship the devil`s bird.Ah, but we respect the old waysAnd we disregard his word.For we know they rest uneasyAs we slumber in the night;And we always leave a little bit of meatFor the bird that`s black and white. CHORUSWritten by Dave Dodds, copyright FolktracksRecorded on SATISFIED CUSTOMERS, Sally Rogers and Howard Bursen,Thrushwood Records 003.filename[ MAGPIDFYDC===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
