Intro 1

Verse 1
Em 
Gonna  (E minor) build me a log cabin
on a mountain so high,
So I can see Willy,
as she goes walking by.
Chorus:
Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird,
Lord, she warbles as she flies;
She'll never say cuckoo
Till the fourth day of July.
Well I played cards in old England
D 
Em 
And I've gambled over  (D major) in  (E minor) Spain,
And I'll bet you ten dollars
D 
Em 
That I'll beat you next game.  (D major)  (E minor) 
My horses they ain't hungry
And they won't eat your hay.

Verse 2
Em 
I'll drive home  (E minor) just a little further
Fm 
Em 
Wondering why you treat  (F minor) me this  (E minor) way.
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird.
Lord, she warbles as she flies.
She'll cause never more trouble
And she'll tell you no lies.
There's one thing that's
been a puzzle
Since the day that time began:
A man's love for, for his woman
D 
Em 
And her sweet love for  (D major)  (E minor) her man.
