Magpies

One for sorrow,

Two for joy,

Three for a girl,

Four for a boy,

Five for Silver,

Six for gold,

Seven for a secret,

Never to be told.

Eight for a wish,

Nine for a kiss,

Ten for a bird,

You must not miss.

Original Version

One for sorrow,

Two for mirth,

Three for a funeral,

Four for a birth,

Five for heaven,

Six for hell,

Seven for the devil, his own self.
