Lyrics
The lord and lady walking, they wander off
Did not greet the bird that came to land
The lord took his pistol, aimed and fired
Left the bird to die in the sand
For many weeks he wondered about his kill
The Magpie that he ripped from life
But on his land another came to haunt
Dressed in black, he was looking for his wife
RHYME:
One for sorrow, two for mirth
I put your wife into the earth
Three times three, four for dreams
Listen to her horrid screams
One for sorrow, two for mirth
Three times three, four for dreams
Serenading me with her screams
One, two - curse you
Three, four - heed lore
CHORUS
One for sorrow, two for mirth
I put your darling wife into the earth
Three times three, four for dreams
Serenading me with her screams
Then the lady fair, disappeared
And the lord and his men did her seek
Found her lifeless body, eyes pecked out
Mr Magpie grimaced through his beak
CHORUS
One, two - curse you
Three, four - heed lore
