[Verse 1]
 
Am                              G          Am
Gonna build me a log cabin on a mountain so high
                           G               Am
So I can see my darling as she goes passing by
 
 
[Chorus]
                                           G      E  Am
Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird and she warbles as she flies
                                    G         E  Am
But she never says cuckoo 'till the fourth day of July

[Verse 2]
                                          G             Am
Now my horses, they ain't hungry and they won't eat your hay
                                          G        Am
So I'll ride on just a little further and feed them on the way
 
 
[Chorus]
                                           G      E  Am
Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird and she warbles as she flies
                                               G       E  Am
She will cause you never no trouble and she'll tell you no lie

[Verse 3]
                                        G           Am
You can see that I have wandered by the dust that's on my feet
                                      G             Am
Now I'll build me a log cabin, let my true love look for me
 
 
[Chorus]
                                           G      E  Am
Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird and she warbles as she flies
                                    G         E  Am
But she never says cuckoo 'till the fourth day of July
