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 (oh the cuckoo), She's a pretty (she's a pretty bird), And she warbles as she flies
She will bring you (she'll bring you), no trouble (no trouble), And she'll tell you no lies
Oh the leaves they, they do wither, and the roots they do die (all stop)
And your love he, he will leave you and he'll never say why (WHY)
Oh the Cuckoo (oh the cuckoo), She's a pretty (she's a pretty bird), And she warbles as she flies
She will bring you (she'll bring you), no trouble (no trouble), And she'll tell you no lies
If he should leave me (uh, huh) I will get up, (mmm hmmm) in my best finery
And I'll walk as (uh, huh) proud past him, (mmm hmm), as he walked by me.
Oh the Cuckoo (oh the cuckoo), She's a pretty (she's a pretty bird),
And she warbles as she flies (as she flies)
She will bring you (she'll bring you), no trouble (no trouble),
And she'll tell you no lies (ah hah)
Acapella, reverse lines,
Girls: Oh the Cuckoo (Carol: oh the cuckoo), Girls: She's a pretty (Carol: she's a pretty bird),
And she warbles as she flies (as she flies)
Girls: She will bring you (Carol: she'll bring you), no trouble (Carol: no trouble),
And she'll tell you (together) no lies
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 (oh the cuckoo), She's a pretty (she's a pretty bird), And she warbles as she flies
She will bring you (she'll bring you), no trouble (no trouble), And she'll tell you no lies
Oh the leaves they, they do wither, and the roots they do die (all stop)
And your love he, he will leave you and he'll never say why (WHY)
Oh the Cuckoo (oh the cuckoo), She's a pretty (she's a pretty bird), And she warbles as she flies
