lyrics

MAGPIE
© Emy Phelps, MyWindowFacesTheWest Music ASCAP

Magpie sittin’ in a cottonwood tree
Got your greedy eye on me
Eye on me, oh got your eye on me

All those treasures in your nest
Can you tell me which one is the best?
Is the best, oh, which one is the best

The ring you gave me sparkled true
But the love you gave me made me blue
Made me blue oh, made me so blue.

Sweet blue of the Morning Glory
But the evening brings another story
Evening brings another story

There are things we cannot see
Can’t see love or gravity.
Can’t see love or gravity.
They can both be tricky things
They can pull you down or make you feel so free.

Solos

You took my love and you turned away
And now you tell me it’s OK
It’s OK? Oh, no it’s not OK!
I threw my ring in the piney creek
That magpie grabbed in its beak
In its beak, oh, grabbed in its beak

Oh fly on back to your cottonwood tree
You go away and let me be
Let me be, oh, let me be free

Fiddle tune
