(2nd Chorus)
You hang all around these hills
In the winter time
Why in the world would you want to do that
If it was me I'd be out of here man
Give me a couple of seconds
And I'll grab my hat
Ah, magpie, you're a pretty bird
You just want to be free
Holy Moses magpie
I am you - you are me
Walk that walk
Talk that talk
Sing me a song of way long ago
Was it out on the trail
You got a beautiful tail
Did you cut a deal with the white buffalo?
Say Magpie
You know the west ainât never gonna die
Just as long as you can fly
