Old Crow Sayings

"If you see one crow,
Watch it out of sight,
Joy before night"

 Folk saying from Mary Patterson, of
Pugwash, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia.

 One crow sorrow,
Two crows joy,
Three crows a letter,
Four crows a boy,
Five crows silver,
Six crows gold,
Seven crow a story yet to be told.

 - My mother’s rendition of this old rhyme-
