The Coo Coo Bird Songtext
von Tom Ashley

Gonna build me log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see Willie
As he goes passing by.

Oh, the coo-coo, she′s a pretty bird
She wobbles as she flies
She never says coo-coo
Till the fourth day July.


I've played cards in England
I′ve played cards in Spain
I'll bet you ten dollars
I beat you next game.

Jack-a-Diamonds, Jack-a-Diamonds
I've known you from old
You′ve robbed my poor pocket
Of my silver and my gold.

My horses ain′t hungry
They won't eat your hay
I′ll drive on a little further
I'll feed ′em on my way.
