May Your Soul Get To Heaven - Chris Velan

If you see a magpie remember the rhyme

One for sorrow and two for joy

Three for a girl and four for a boy

Five for silver and six for gold

Seven for a secret never to be told

Wear a spider 'round your neck in a walnut shell

Keep a folded newspaper in your shoe

Stick the pages up with wallpaper glue

The devil has to read every word

Before he can get to you I've heard

May your soul get to Heaven

May your soul get to Heaven

Get to Heaven so the devil knows you're dead

Don't you let the robin in keep the white moth out

See the seventh son of the seventh son

If you need healing well he's the one

It never bodes well to see a dog cry

You dreamed of snow now your parents are gonna die

If she doesn't drop the scissors then she's been true

But don't part ways on a bridge my friend

'Cause you'll never see each other again

And if you catch a sparrow on Valentine's Day

You'll marry poor but be happy anyway

May your soul get to Heaven

May your soul get to Heaven

Get to Heaven so the devil knows you're dead

Throw the windows up move the birdcage out

If the doors are locked his soul can't leave

Take all the buttons off his sleeve

Sew up his pockets and close his eyes

If you lived a good life

There'll be flowers on your grave

And they'll keep one half of your comb

But don't ever try to follow them home

'Cause they don't want you there no more at all

May your soul get to Heaven

May your soul get to Heaven

Get to Heaven so the devil knows you're dead
