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
