Doc canta
I
Gonna build me a log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see Willie
As he goes walking by
(Chorus)
Oh, the cuckoo, is a pretty bird
And she warbles when she flies
She never say cuckoo
Till the fourth day of July
II
I’ve played cards in England
I’ve gambled over in Spain
I’ll bet you ten dollars
that I’ll beat you next game
III
My horses they ain’t hungry
And they won’t eat your hay.
I’ll drive home just a little further
Wondering why you treat me this way.
IV
Oh, the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird.
Lord, she warbles as she flies.
She’ll cause you never more trouble
And she’ll tell you no lies.
V
There’s one thing that’s been a puzzle
Since the day that time began:
A man’s love for, for his woman
And her sweet love for her man.
(Chorus)
