The Cuckoo chords by Doc Watson

  • Em

  • D

  • Fm

Intro 1
Em
Verse 1
Em
Gonna 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 in Spain,
And I'll bet you ten dollars
D
Em
That I'll beat you next game.
My horses they ain't hungry
And they won't eat your hay.

Verse 2
Em
I'll drive home just a little further
Fm
Em
Wondering why you treat me this 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 her man.
