May Your Soul Get To Heaven Lyrics - Singles - 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
