(Traditional)
|
|
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 'til the fourth 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 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 lie
|
You can see that I have wandered by the dust that's on my feet
|
