The Coo Coo Bird - Laura Veirs

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
