Lyrics
(Folk song)
There were three crows sat on a tree,
O Billy Magee Magar!
There were three crows sat on a tree,
O Billy Magee Magar!
There were three crows sat on a tree,
And they were black as crows could be
Refrain
And they all flapped their wings and cried,
“Caw Caw Caw!”
Billy Magee Magar!
And they all flapped their wings and cried,
Billy Magee Magar!
Said one old crow unto his mate,
O Billy Magee Magar!
Said one old crow unto his mate,
O Billy Magee Magar!
Said one old crow unto his mate,
“What shall we do for grub to eat?” Refrain
