Seven's all the stories ever told

[mirrorshard]

One for sorrow, two for joy
Three for a girl and four for a boy.
Five for silver, six for gold
Seven's all the stories ever told.

Has anyone else heard this version of the magpie rhyme? I have a feeling it may be a Lancashire thing.

arkady got all the ones I'd ever heard of and a few more besides. =) I haven't heard this variation, but I like it.
