The Cuckoo
Come all ye, fair maidens, take warning from me
Don't place your, your affections on a young man too free.
Oh the Cuckoo, she's a pretty bird, and she warbles as she flies
She will bring you, no trouble and she'll tell you no lies
I'm a walkin' and a talkin' and a wanderin' go I
I'm a walkin' for my true love, he will come by and by
Oh the Cuckoo , She's a pretty bird , and she warbles as she flies
She will bring you, no trouble, And she'll tell you no lies
Oh the leaves they, they do wither, and the roots they do die
And your love he, he will leave you and he'll never say why
Oh the Cuckoo , She's a pretty bird , and she warbles as she flies
She will bring you, no trouble, And she'll tell you no lies
If he should leave me I will get up, in my best finery
And I'll walk as proud past him, as he walked by me.
Oh the Cuckoo , She's a pretty bird , and she warbles as she flies
She will bring you, no trouble, And she'll tell you no lies
