[Verse]
E
Oh, the cuckoo is a pretty bird
G A
That wobbles as she flies
E
But she never says coo-coo
G E
Till the fourth day of July
[Verse]
A E
I've gambled in England
A E
I've gambled in Spain
E
An' I bet you ten dollars
G E
That I'll beat you next game
[Verse]
E
I build me a cabin
G E
On a mountain so high
E
So I can see Nelly
G E
As she goes ridin' by
[Verse]
E
I wish I was a poet
G E
An' could write a fine hand
E
I'd write my love a letter
G
Lord, she would understand.
