Doc Watson - The Coo Coo Lyrics

Doc Watson Lyrics

"The Coo Coo"

Gonna build me log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see Willi
As he goes passing by

Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She never says cuckoo
Till the fourth day 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

Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She never says cuckoo
Till the fourth day July

Jack of diamonds, Jack of diamonds
I've known you from old
You robbed my poor pocket
Of my silver and my gold

Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She never says cuckoo
Till the fourth day July
