A celtic ballad (with a rhythmic twist). Magpies, being of the crafty crow family, are featured in folklore in many cultures representing everything from good luck to disaster. I grew up learning they are accomplished thieves with an eye for bright and pretty things left unattended. The repeating nursery rhyme is well known in the UK.

To Catch A Magpie
Willow oh Willow what`s this I see you kilt your gown skipping my nemesis to meet he preens like a vicar in plumage of black and white o`ermasters our love with a mesmerist`s eye
one for sorrow two for joy three for a girl four for a boy
Clem my Clem remember the day lilt in her voice the Weavers Stone where you lay be furtive not bold let your tongue be your sword your rival plays this game like devil like a lord
five for silver six for gold seven for a secret never to be told
take care take when you set your snare to catch a magpie
the Magpie the Magpie many words little truth has her soul on tiptoes on her promise she broods Clem rushes in with hailstone of blows to the gallows not Willow he`ll soon pledge his oath
one for sorrow two for joy three for a girl four for a boy
the sky shall fall before that pitiless eye when love lies bleeding away flies the magpie
five for silver six for gold seven for a secret never to be told
take care take when you set your snare to catch a magpie
Floyd, Yep, there`s a problem with the link - it looks exactly the same as yours ( thanks for adding it-works from your post) but no matter how many times I add it its not working from my post... over to admin?

Thanks for your comments on the song!

Robert - Did you see my edited comment. Your link is missing the colon after https...
I don't know if the software will allow you to edit a link????
Edit - obviously you did...since your link works now...
Wow - you really did a great job with this. Your vocals and the lyrics fit the melodies gorgeously. It really is a pretty tune. It is simultaneously melancholic, but hopeful in it's vibe as well. For me, it really stuck.
You should be proud of this one. Thanks for sharing
Robert, Really nice song. Grabbed me right in. I am a big fan of folk inspired modern interpretations. Celtic music has some very beautiful and unusual twists and breaks, this tune reflects this pretty well.
Bringing back celtic folk (except it's never really gone away). Was that a few 2/4 measures before the 1,2,3, and 4...and before the 5, 6, 7, and 8? Drew me in. Nicely done.
I'm a fan of this type of music although it's a little outside my wheelhouse as far as playing goes. I have CD's from Loreena McKennitt CD's and a few others than I listen to when I'm in the mood.
Very good, Robert, nice atmosphere. The vocal is one of your best and I like the processing on it too as well as the overall production.
Hi Robert, This was a beautiful song and performance. You must have been inside the mike to get this close vocals. Very good. I like that medieval sfere you created with your song.
