Lyrics The Coo Coo Bird - Laura Veirs

The Coo Coo Bird

Oh, the coo coo, she’s a fine bird
Don’t she wobble as she flies
She don’t never holler coo coo
Till the fourth of July
Oh, the coo coo, she’s a fine bird
Don’t I wish she was mine
She won’t never drink water
She always drink wine
Don’t you kill her, little coo coo
She won’t do you no harm
She will eat up all the groundworms
That destroy dad’s farm
Oh, the coo coo, she’s a wise bird
Goes down south in the fall
She goes down to hold my armor
Where the snow never falls
Oh, the coo coo, she’s a wise bird
Builds her nest in the pines
She goes high up in the timbers
Where the snakes never climb
Oh, the coo coo, she’s a fine bird
Don’t she wobble as she flies
She don’t never holler coo coo
Till the fourth of July
