The Coo Coo Bird (The Cuckoo)

The Coo Coo Bird (The Cuckoo) - Clarence Ashley

Written by：Thomas Clarence Ashley

Gonna build me log cabin

On a mountian so high

So I can see Willie

As he goes on by

Oh the coo coo is a pretty bird

She wobbles as she flies

She never hollers coo coo

'Til 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

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

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 as she flies

She never hollers coo coo

'Til the fourth day July
