If you see a magpie remember the rhyme
One for sorrow and two for joy
Three for a girl and four for a boy
Five for silver and six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told
Wear a spider â#128##152#round your neck in a walnut shell
Keep a folded newspaper in your shoe
Stick the pages up with wallpaper glue
The devil has to read every word
Before he can get to you Iâ#128##153#ve heard

May your soul get to Heaven
May your soul get to Heaven
Get to Heaven so the devil knows youâ#128##153#re dead

Donâ#128##153#t you let the robin in keep the white moth out
See the seventh son of the seventh son
If you need healing, well, heâ#128##153#s the one
It never bodes well to see a dog cry
You dreamed of snow now your parents are gonna die
If she doesnâ#128##153#t drop the scissors then sheâ#128##153#s been true
But donâ#128##153#t part ways on a bridge, my friend
â#128##152#Cause youâ#128##153#ll never see each other again
And if you catch a sparrow on Valentineâ#128##153#s Day
Youâ#128##153#ll marry poor but be happy anyway

May your soul get to Heaven
May your soul get to Heaven
Get to Heaven so the devil knows youâ#128##153#re dead

Throw the windows up, move the birdcage out
If the doors are locked, his soul canâ#128##153#t leave
Take all the buttons off his sleeve
Sew up his pockets and close his eyes
If you lived a good life thereâ#128##153#ll be flowers on your grave
And theyâ#128##153#ll keep one half of your comb
But donâ#128##153#t ever try to follow them home
â#128##152#Cause they donâ#128##153#t want you there no more at all

May your soul get to Heaven
May your soul get to Heaven
Get to Heaven so the devil knows youâ#128##153#re dead
