Three For A Girl.

As I drove down the road,

A small country road

There were three of them,

Three of them on the road.

And then I knew,

I knew what the baby would be,

The new life entering this world

Would be a girl.

The magpies had told me,

One for sorrow,

One for joy,

Three for a girl,

And sure enough

The baby came,

And it was a girl,

A new born baby girl

With a wonderful life ahead,

Ahead of her,

The magpies had told me.

 

 

 

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.
