The bracken made their bed

The magpies said
 
Tom's hand was strong to the plough
and Elizabeth's lips were red

The magpies said
 
Year in year out they worked
while the pines grew overhead

The magpies said
 
Elizabeth is dead now (it's long ago)
Old Tom's gone light in the head

The magpies said
 
The farm's still there. Mortgage corporations
couldn't give it away
