One's for sorrow
Two's for joy
Three's for a girl
And four's four a boy
Five's for silver
Six for Gold
Seven's for a secret never told
Two's for joy
Three's for a girl
And four's four a boy
Five's for silver
Six for Gold
Seven's for a secret never told
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Oh the magpie brings us tidings
Of news both fair and foul
She's more cunning than the raven
More wise than any owl
Of news both fair and foul
She's more cunning than the raven
More wise than any owl
For she brings us news of the harvest
Of the barley, wheat, and corn
And she knows when we'll go to our graves
And how we shall be born
Of the barley, wheat, and corn
And she knows when we'll go to our graves
And how we shall be born
One's for sorrow
Two's for joy
Three's for a girl
And four's four a boy
Five's for silver
Six for Gold
Seven's for a secret never told
Two's for joy
Three's for a girl
And four's four a boy
Five's for silver
Six for Gold
Seven's for a secret never told
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
She brings us joy when from the right
Grief when from the left
Of all the news that's in the air
We know to trust her best
Grief when from the left
Of all the news that's in the air
We know to trust her best
For she sees us at our labor
And she mocks us at our work
And she steals the eggs from out of the nest
And she can mob the hawk
And she mocks us at our work
And she steals the eggs from out of the nest
And she can mob the hawk
One's for sorrow
Two's for joy
Three's for a girl
And four's four a boy
Five's for silver
Six for Gold
Seven's for a secret never told
Two's for joy
Three's for a girl
And four's four a boy
Five's for silver
Six for Gold
Seven's for a secret never told
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
The priesty says we're wicked
For to worship the devil's bird
Ah, but we respect the old ways
And we disregard his word
For to worship the devil's bird
Ah, but we respect the old ways
And we disregard his word
For we know they rest uneasy
As we slumber in the night
And we'll always leave out a little bit of meat
For the bird that's black and white
As we slumber in the night
And we'll always leave out a little bit of meat
For the bird that's black and white
One's for sorrow
Two's for joy
Three's for a girl
And four's four a boy
Five's for silver
Six for Gold
Seven's for a secret never told
Two's for joy
Three's for a girl
And four's four a boy
Five's for silver
Six for Gold
Seven's for a secret never told
