Denez prigent - An Old Story

Tekst piosenki:

It's a very old story, very old, very sad,
It's a very old story, very old, very sad.

Keira out on a summer's day
Met her magpie on the way.
"Magpie, what news can be so bad?
Your morning song is oh, so sad."

"The news is bad" - it said bemused -
"Of witchery you are accused."
"I am no witch, I've done no bad,
Save for the seven loves I had."

It's a very old story, very old, very sad,
It's a very old story, very old, very sad. [x2]

"It's not a crime, you're right to say,
But even so they're dead today."
"But I already love an eighth:
Johnny Smith from Magherabate."

"What's the news in Magherabate?
In church they lament his sad fate."
Johnny Smith is dead, is dead,
During the mass where he was wed.

It's a very old story, very old, very sad,
It's a very old story, very old, very sad. [x2]
