Alasdair Roberts - The magpies nest

^GOh, if I was the king ^GI would make you the queen I would ^Froll you in my arms Where the meadows are ^Cgreen

I would ^Groll you in my arms Lay you do^Cwn to rest Be^Gside my Irish ^Ffairy In the ^Cmagpie's ^Gnest

^GFor the magpie's nest ^GIs a cottage neat and clean And it ^Fstands beside the Shannon Where the meadows are ^Cgreen

And I ^Gnever saw a princess With beauty such ^Cas this My ^Glittle Irish ^Ffairy In the ^Cmagpie's ^Gnest
