M is for Magpie

One for sorrow, two for joy
Three for a girl, four for a boy
Five for silver, six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told.

or

One for sorrow, two for mirth
Three for a funeral, four for a birth
Five for heaven, six for hell
Seven for the devil, his own sel'.

&

Magpie, magpie, chatter and flee
Turn up your tail and good luck come to me.
