Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird

And she warbles, as she flies
And she never, holler cuckoo

You're the meanest, heart I know
Well you rob my, poor pockets
Em Am
Of the silver, and of gold
I'm going up, up on a mountain
Em Am
I'm gonna build me, a whiskey still
And I'll sell you, one bottle
Em Am
For a twenty, dollar-bill
I'm going up, up on a mountain
Em Am
I'm gonna stand, lookin' down
So I can see my, pretty baby
Em Am
Whenever she, comes walking round
Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
Em Am
And she warbles, as she flies
And she never, holler cuckoo
Em Am
Until the 4th day, of July
