The Magpie
Music and lyrics by Donovan P. Leitch
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 night
I would that I had feathers three
Black and blue and white
I saw the gentle Magpie bird
In the dusky yestereve
One brought sorrow and one brought joy
And soon, and then soon they 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
