Clarence Ashley - The Coo Coo Bird lyrics

rate me

Gonna build me a log cabin

On a mountian so high

So I can see Willie

As he goes on by

Um hmm hmm...

Oh the coo-coo is a pretty bird

She wobbles when she flies

She never hollers coo-coo

'Til the fourth day of July

I've played cards in England

I've played cards in Spain

I'll bet you ten dollars

I'll beat you next game

Jack of diamonds, Jack of diamonds

I've known you from old

Now you've robbed my poor pockets

Of my silver and my gold

Um hmm hmm...

I've played cards in England

I've played cards in Spain

I'll bet you ten dollars

I beat you this game

Oh the coo-coo is a pretty bird

She wobbles when she flies

She never hollers coo-coo

'Til the fourth day of July
