The Cuckoo Lyrics
The Cuckoo<br />
<br />
Oh it's night-o after night love<br />
I do lay on me bed<br />
With a feathery pillow all under my head<br />
Neither waking nor sleeping<br />
No rest can I find<br />
For the thoughts of that young man<br />
He still troubles my mind.<br />
<br />
I will rise up and meet him<br />
As the evening draws nigh<br />
I will meet him as the evening,<br />
As the evening draws nigh<br />
And if you love another, your mind for to ease<br />
Oh why can't you love the old one<br />
Til the young's learned to please?<br />
<br />
It's like the flowers all in your garden<br />
When their beauty's all gone.<br />
Can't you see what I've come to<br />
By your loving that one?<br />
Oh the grave he will rot you<br />
He will turn you to dust.<br />
There's not one young man out of twenty<br />
That a poor girl can trust.<br />

Oh the cuckoo ain't she a merry bird<br />
Don't she sing as she flies<br />
She brings us glad tidings<br />
And she tells us no lies<br />
She sucks the small birds' eggs<br />
For to keep her voice clear<br />
And whenever she hollers "Cuckoo"<br />
Don't the summer draw near.<br />
