Oh the magpie brings us tidings
D A
Of news both fair and foul
D A
She's more cunning than the raven
D A
More wise than any owl
D A
For she brings us news of the harvest
D A
Of the barley, wheat, and corn
D A
And she knows when we'll go to our graves
D A
And how we shall be born
[Refrain]

D A
She brings us news when from the right
D A
Grief when from the left
D A
Of all the news that's in the air
D A
We know to trust her best
D A
For she sees us at our labor
D A
And she mocks us at our work
D A
And she steals the eggs from out of the nest
D A
And she can mob the hawk
[Refrain]

D A
Now, the priest he says we're wicked
D A
But to worship the devil's bird
D A
Ah but we respect the old ways
D A
And we disregard his word
D A
For we know they rest uneasy
D A
As we slumber in the night
D A
And we'll always leave out a little bit of meat
D A
For the bird that's black and white
