[00:19.01]
[00:43.79]Magpie, was it you who stole the wedding ring
[00:55.87]Or what other thieving bird would steal such hope away
[01:10.81]Magpie, I am lost among the hinterland,
[01:23.07]caught among the bracken and the ferns and the boys who have no name.
[01:32.28]
[01:33.55]There's no name for us.
[01:36.67]Still we sing.
[01:38.19]
[01:50.00]And still we sing.
[01:52.78]
[02:06.76]Little boy, little boy, lost and blue,
[02:21.29]Listen now, let me tell you what to do.
[02:33.08]You can run on, run along, alone or home between the knees of her;
[02:46.26]All among her bracken and her ferns and the boy will have a name.
[02:56.12]
[02:59.29]We will sing.
[03:12.62]And we will sing.
[03:14.74]
[03:26.85]One for sorrow.
[03:30.14]Two for joy.
[03:33.42]Three for a girl.
[03:36.78]Four for a boy.
[03:40.12]Five for silver.
[03:43.42]Six for gold.
[03:47.05]Seven for a secret, never to be told
[03:54.75]
