This is an early live version, without the Marianne Faithfull vocals. Short and sweet!
Magpie
Was it you who stole the wedding ring?
O' what other thieving bird
Would steal such hope away?
Magpie
I
I am lost among the hinterland
Caught among the bracken and the ferns
And the boys who have no name
"There's no name for us"
And we sing
Who?
Magpie
I
I am lost again
how do you get all these versions? i mean, i have almost all of his material, but no idea such beatiful raw songs existed in their early versions, anyhow, thank you very much for sharing, I deeply appreciate it :)
