peter warlock - the magpie lyrics

Loading...

i lingered near a cottage door
and the magpie said “come in!”
the door was open, i went in
and i saw standing there
a maiden with a dimpled chin
a+combing her black hair
a sweet surprise was in her eyes
but still she did not frown
but even smiled, the pretty child
and the magpie said “sit down!”

i sat down in her father’s chair
and the magpie said “kiss her!”
and yet the maiden didn’t speak
which made me think “i will!”
for as the red rushed to her cheek
she looked more lovely still
but when in haste i clasped her waist
she screamed out “no! no! no!”
but ’twas so nice i kissed her twice
and the magpie said “bravo!”

her father then came rushing in
and the magpie said “get out!”
her father’s voice was like a rasp
and swearing he began
and i experienced the grasp
the grasp of an honest man
he rained such blows upon my clothes
i feel them to this day;
he kicked me too as out i flew
and the magpie said “hooray!”
