Oh-oo the magpie's calling
The farmer has had a child
Will it live or will it die
Only this bird will tell
Oh-oo the magpie's calling
One for death
Two for love
Three for the gypsy's journey
Never to be done
One - Two come the magpies calls
On Jonny's wedding day
But on the bed of old Caradoc
There was only to be one
Oh-oo the magpie's calling
One for death
Two for love
Three for the gypsy's journey
Never to be done
