Oh Magpie how'd your lover die Did she fall to the bottom of the well of all the birds in the sky, she used to fly so high no, sir, I never will tell Oh Magpie, hear the willow sigh Did she put you under her spell She was the apple of your eye Tell the reason why she called another's name when she fell. Oh Magpie ... Oh Magpie how'd your lover die Did she fall to the bottom of the well You never again will fly with our lover by your side Forever you will fly by yourself Oh Magpie ... How did you lover die In a suit and tie Don't you tell a lie How'd your lover die Can you hear her cry She was the apple of your eye She never again will fly Oh Magpie. |
