The Cuckoo Songtext
von Misty River

Come all you 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 may leave you
And never say why

Oh the cuckoo, oh 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, oh 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 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
