From the recording Magpie Blues
Lyrics
Magpie Blues
By AJ McCausland
Black cat crossing my path
Bringing good luck and I'll never look back
Black cat crossing my path
Bringing good luck and I'll never look back
Some say it's an omen cursing my soul
But I'm working my mojo
And I'm on a roll
Magpie singing the blues
No sorrow for me so I've got to salute
Magpie singing the blues
No sorrow for me so I've got to salute
Because luck be a lady and I know she's near
So sing your song magpie I've nothing to fear
You take your voodoo, lady
I can't feel no prick from your pin
Kansas cousin done saved me
From the devil's I have within
Albatross flying into the wind
Of a red sky at dawn but my ship's coming in
Albatross flying into the wind
Of a red sky at dawn but my ship's coming in
Can't no tempest shipwreck me
I'm already dancing at the fiddler's green
