_ Hello, Bozeman.
_ [A] _ _
This is a song [E] I used to do with Darryl Adams.
I went to, _ [A#]
drove out to California with Woody one time to _ _
[E] spend some time in Topanga Canyon.
Woody was buying some land out there.
That was in 1953.
In case you want to know what year it is.
I know you didn't say [A] what year.
You said, we're here.
[B] _ _ [A] _
_ Hearing is a wonderful adventure, especially with hearing aids, [A#] because they never work right.
[C] _ _ _ _
I enjoy whatever I hear, even if [C#] I didn't hear it right.
[G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
So, Darryl [N] Adams was an old cowboy from Oregon.
And he'd been in the Navy.
_ _ And he didn't like boats, because he was seasick the whole time they put him in a destroyer.
But he was a darn good banjo picker.
And nobody knew how to play the banjo in Oregon.
He learned [C#] how to play the banjo from listening to records of Bascom [G#] Lamar Lunsford,
who was a great picker in North [Em] Carolina.
_ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ And [C#m] I met him there, and he was my best man at the wedding, the first time [B] I ever got married.
[E] I'll tell you about that next [A] time.
This is a song.
It's called The Cuckoo.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ Well, the cuckoo is a pretty bird.
_ [G] She warbles _ [Am] as she flies.
But she never _
[A] says cuckoo till [G] the fifth day [Am] of July.
_ Ah, yeah, huh.
_ Ah, yeah, huh.
Mmm, hmm, [C] _ _ [D] hmm.
_ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ I've [E] gambled in England.
_ And [G] I've gambled _ in [Am] Spain. _
[E] If I ever for [Am] gamble, _ [G] I will win you _ [Am] next game.
Well, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird.
[G] She warbles as [Am] she flies.
But she never says _ cuckoo till [G] the fifth day of [A] [E] July. _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ Oh, _ [E] Willie, oh, Willie, [E] _
_ [G] I'm afraid of [Am] your ways. _
[E] Your mind [Am] is to gambling [G] and lead me _ astray. _
[Am] The cuckoo, she's a pretty bird.
[D] She [G] warbles [Am] as she flies.
[E] But she never _ [A] says [Am] cuckoo [G] till the fifth day [Am] of July. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[D] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Thank you, thank you, [C#] thank you [N] very much, ladies and gentlemen. _ _ _ _
My best.
_ I sure hope I can come back and see you again. _ _ _ _ _
_ Keep the yard light lit. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ Keep the yard light lit.
