LRC Lyrics download
[00:18.196]One's for sorrow, two's for joy
[00:25.729]Three's for a girl and four's for a boy
[00:33.523]Five's for silver, six for gold
[00:40.849]Seven's for a secret never told
[00:48.880]Devil, devil, I defy thee
[00:56.430]Devil, devil, I defy thee
[01:03.832]Devil, devil, I defy thee
[01:14.468]Oh, the magpie brings us tidings
[01:17.468]Of news both fair and foul
[01:21.931]She's more cunning than the raven
[01:25.613]More wise than any owl
[01:30.762]For she brings us news of the harvest
[01:33.903]Of the barley, wheat, and corn
[01:36.757]And she knows when we'll go to our graves
[01:40.219]And how we shall be born
[01:46.557]One's for sorrow, two's for joy
[01:52.771]Three's for a girl and four's for a boy
[01:59.926]Five's for silver, six for gold
[02:06.594]Seven's for a secret never told
[02:14.661]Devil, devil, I defy thee
[02:22.370]Devil, devil, I defy thee
[02:30.113]Devil, devil, I defy thee
[02:39.960]She brings us joy when from the right
[02:43.642]Grief when from the left
[02:46.343]Of all the news that's in the air
[02:49.372]We know to trust her best
[02:54.528]For she sees us at our labour
[02:57.864]And she mocks us at our work
[03:00.766]And she steals the eggs from out of the nest
[03:04.359]And she can mob the hawk
[03:10.162]One's for sorrow, two's for joy
[03:17.478]Three's for a girl and four's for a boy
[03:24.371]Five's for silver, six for gold
[03:30.852]Seven's for a secret never told
[03:38.549]Devil, devil, I defy thee
[03:46.117]Devil, devil, I defy thee
[03:53.197]Devil, devil, I defy thee
[04:03.263]The priest, he says we're wicked
[04:06.147]For to worship the devil's bird
[04:08.836]Ah, but we respect the old ways
[04:12.031]And we disregard his word
[04:15.208]For we know they rest uneasy
[04:18.069]As we slumber in the night
[04:20.898]And we'll always leave out a little bit of meat
[04:24.372]For the bird that's black and white
[04:30.492]One's for sorrow, two's for joy
[04:37.083]Three's for a girl and four's for a boy
[04:44.770]Five's for silver, six for gold
[04:52.025]Seven's for a secret never told

One's for sorrow, two's for joy
Three's for a girl and four's for 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
Oh, the magpie brings us tidings
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
One's for sorrow, two's for joy
Three's for a girl and four's for 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
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
For she sees us at our labour
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 for 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
The priest, he says we're wicked
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
One's for sorrow, two's for joy
Three's for a girl and four's for a boy
Five's for silver, six for gold
Seven's for a secret never told
