Time: 6/8

-6 -6 7* -6 7* 7* 5 5 -5*
Oh, the cu-ckoo is a pret-ty bird
5 -3* 5 -5* -6
She sings as she flies
-6 7* -6 7* 5 -5*
She brings you glad tid-ings
5 -3* 5 -5* -6
And she nev-er lies
-5* -5* -5* -5* -5* -5* -9* 9
She sucks all the pret-ty flow-ers
7* -7* 7* -7* 8
That make her voice clear
8 -7* 7* -6 7* 5 -5*
And she nev-er sings cu-ckoo
5 5 -3* 5 -5* -6
Til the spring of the year
