[N] [Gm]
On a billowy log cabin on a mountain so high, so I can see Willie as he goes passin' by.
Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird, she wobbles as she flies.
She never says cuckoo, tell them old Dave she's a liar.
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, cacodemons, cacodemons, I've known you for a long time.
You've robbed my poor pocky, I'm a seabird and a gold.
My horses ain't hungry, they won't eat it.
Oh, hey, I'll drive them a little further, I'll feed them on the way.
