Magpie
I plucked a feather from a magpie's tail
And I vowed never to see love fail
He bowed clever, his colours spread
I plucked once more and his tail turned red
He said, "One's for sorrow but what of two?
And why should I give all to you?"
So then I swore before he fled
I'd pluck once more and his tail turned red
Five is for feathers
They say six is for fur
And seven is for secrets
Seven is for secrets
Never to be heard
And I vowed never to see love fail
He bowed clever, his colours spread
I plucked once more and his tail turned red
He said, "One's for sorrow but what of two?
And why should I give all to you?"
So then I swore before he fled
I'd pluck once more and his tail turned red
Five is for feathers
They say six is for fur
And seven is for secrets
Seven is for secrets
Never to be heard
