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
