The Cuckoo Bird — текст песни (Watson Family)

Gonna build me a log cabin
on a mountain so high,
So I can see Willy,
as she goes walking by.
Chorus:
Oh, the cuckoo, she`s a pretty bird,
Lord, she warbles as she flies;
She`ll never say cuckoo
Till the fourth day of July.
Well I played cards in old England
And I`ve gambled over in Spain,
And I`ll bet you ten dollars
That I`ll beat you next game.
My horses they ain`t hungry
And they won`t eat your hay.
I`ll drive home just a little further
Wondering why you treat me this way.
Oh, the cuckoo she`s a pretty bird.
Lord, she warbles as she flies.
She`ll cause never more trouble
And she`ll tell you no lies.
There`s one thing that`s been a puzzle
Since the day that time began:
A man`s love for, for his woman
And her sweet love for her man.
Chorus:
