[Gm] [C]
[Gm]
[G]
Gonna build me a log cabin on a mountain so high
So I can see my honey babe when she goes walking by
Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird Yes she wobbles when she flies
She'll never say cuckoo till the fourth day of July
[C] Well
[Gm]
[Cm]
[G]
I've played cards over in England And I've gambled in Spain
I'll bet you ten dollars that I'll beat you next game
Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird Yes she wobbles when she flies
She'll never say cuckoo till the fourth day of July
[Gm]
Well [G]
my horses, they're not hungry No they won't eat your hay
I'll walk on just a little further wondering why
Treat me this way
Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird Yes she wobbles when she flies
She'll never say cuckoo till the fourth day of July
[Fm] [G]
[Gm]
[G]
Well there's one thing that's been a puzzle since the day the time began
It's a man's love for his woman and a woman's for her man
Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird Yes she wobbles when she flies
She'll never say cuckoo till the fourth day of July
[Gm] [G]
