Magpies - Jack

What is that song - no not that one (Climbing up on Salisbury Hill)

Climbing up on Whitehawk Hill,
I could see the city streets, winters freezing, I stood still
6 magpies pecking at the Downs.

1 for sorrow, 2 for joy, 3 for a girl and 4 for a boy, 5 for silver, 6 for gold - 7 for a secret never to be told.

Took me back through time, and its further each time, to the day when you were born, beautiful boy - 13 magpies in Markfield Park.
