If I was a king, I´d make you my queen I´d row you in my arm where the meadows are so green And I´d hold you in my thoughts, as I laid me down to rest
Me and my Colleen, in the magpie´s nest
In the magpie´s nest
In the magpie´s nest In the magpie´s nest
And I know there is a cut, so bright and so clean That stands along the shadows where the meadows are so green And I´d never met a Colleen, with such beauty blessed As the one so fair, in the magpie´s nest
In the magpie´s nest In the magpie´s nest In the magpie´s nest
I´ve wandered through carry, and I´ve wandered through cliffs From Boston down to Jersey, from there to God knows where And I´d never met a Colleen, with such beauty blessed As the one so fair, in the magpie´s nest
In the magpie´s nest In the magpie´s nest In the magpie´s nest In the magpie´s nest In the magpie´s nest In the magpie´s nest In the magpie´s nest
