Lyrics The Coo Coo Bird - Steve Forbert

The Coo Coo Bird

Oh, the coo-coo, she’s a pretty bird
And she wobbles as she flies
But she never hollers coo-coo
Till the fourth day of July
The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird
The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird
(Um…ya)
Gonna build me log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see Willie
When he goes passing by
The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird
The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird
Well, I’ve played cards in England
Hell, I’ve played cards in Spain
I’ll bet you ten dollars
I can beat you next game
The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird
The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird
Jack-a-Diamonds, Jack-a-Diamonds
I’ve known you from old
You’ve robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and my gold
The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird
The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird
The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird
The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird
(Um…ya)
