The Coo Coo Bird lyrics
Oh, the cuckoo she s a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She never hollers coo coo till the fourth day of July

Gonna build me log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see Willie as he goes on by

Well, I ve played cards in Texas
And I ve played cards in Maine
Oh, I ll bet you five dollars I ll beat you next game

Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds
Oh, I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey
Oh, I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold

Sometimes I feel much younger
Sometimes I feel so old
Sometimes the warm sun shines
Sometimes it s dreadful cold

Oh, the cuckoo she s a pretty bird
How I wish she was mine
She never drinks water she only drinks wine

Oh, the cuckoo she s a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She never hollers coo coo till the fourth day of July
