Magpie's Nest (feat. Eric D. Johnson, Josh Kaufman, & Anais Mitchell)

If I was a king
I'd make you my queen
And I'd roll you in my arms
Where the meadows are so green
And I'd hold you in my thoughts
As I lay me 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 oh there is a cottage
So bright and so clean
It stands along the Shannon
Where the meadows are so green
And I 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

(Instrumental)

I've wandered through Kerry
And I've wandered through Clare
From Boston down to Jersey
From there to God knows where
And I 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
