The Cuckoo Lyrics

Gonna build me a log cabin

On a mountain so high

So I can see my darling

As she goes passing by



Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird

And she warbles as she flies

But she never says cuckoo

Till the 4th day of July



Now my horses, they ain't hungry

And they won't eat your hay

So I'll ride on just a little further

And I'll feed them on the way



Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird

And she warbles as she flies

She will cause you never no trouble

And she'll tell you no lies



You can see that I have wandered

By the dust that's on my feet

Now I'll build me a log cabin

Let my true love look for me



Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird

And she warbles as she flies

But she never says cuckoo

Till the 4th day of July
