lyrics

Cuckoo
tradtional
arrangement Liz Savage

Oh, the Cuckoo, she's a pretty bird and she sings as she flies
And you only will see Cuckoo, on the fourth day of July.

I'm gonna build me a cabin, on the mountain top so high
So I can see my pretty lover as she comes riding by.

Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds I see your face so old
You rob my pockets, of their silver and gold.

Sometimes I wonder, why women love men
And sometimes I wonder, why men love them.

Oh, the Cuckoo, she's a pretty bird and she sings as she flies
And you only will see Cuckoo, on the fourth day of July.
