The Cuckoo Is A Pretty Bird chords

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

     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

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

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.
