Magpies Nest Ft Eric D Johnson Josh Kaufman Anais Mitchell - Bonny Light Horseman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
In the magpie's nest
In the magpie's nest
In the magpie's nest

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
In the magpie's nest
In the magpie's nest
In the magpie's nest

[Verse 3]
I've wandered through Kerry and I've wandered through Claire
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
[Chorus]
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
