The Coo Coo Bird lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics The Coo Coo Bird lyrics Oh, the cuckoo she s a pretty bird She warbles as she flies She never hollers coo coo till the fourth day of July Gonna build me log cabin On a mountain so high So I can see Willie as he goes on by Well, I ve played cards in Texas And I ve played cards in Maine Oh, I ll bet you five dollars I ll beat you next game Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds Oh, I know you of old You robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold Rye whiskey, rye whiskey Oh, I know you of old You robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold Sometimes I feel much younger Sometimes I feel so old Sometimes the warm sun shines Sometimes it s dreadful cold Oh, the cuckoo she s a pretty bird How I wish she was mine She never drinks water she only drinks wine Oh, the cuckoo she s a pretty bird She warbles as she flies She never hollers coo coo till the fourth day of July song lyrics
