Lyrics

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 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 Cailín 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 Kerry and I've wandered through Clare
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
