Cold Mountain movie - The Cuckoo lyrics

rate me

Song by Tim Eriksen & Riley Baugus<br /><br>

Gonna build me a log cabin<br>

on a mountain so high,<br>

So I can see Willy,<br>

as she goes walking by.<br>

Chorus:<br>

Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird,<br>

Lord, she warbles as she flies;<br>

She'll never say cuckoo<br>

Till the fourth day of July.<br>

Well I played cards in old England<br>

And I've gambled over in Spain,<br>

And I'll bet you ten dollars<br>

That I'll beat you next game.<br>

My horses they ain't hungry<br>

And they won't eat your hay.<br>

I'll drive home just a little further<br>

Wondering why you treat me this way.<br>

Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird.<br>

Lord, she warbles as she flies.<br>

She'll cause never more trouble<br>

And she'll tell you no lies.<br>

There's one thing that's been a puzzle<br>

Since the day that time began:<br>

A man's love for, for his woman<br>

And her sweet love for her man.<br>

Chorus:<br>

<br>
