	Three maidens a-milking did go
	Three maidens a-milking did go
	And the wind it did blow high, and the wind it did blow low
	It tossed their petticoats to and fro
	They met with some young man they know
	They met with some young man they know
	And they boldly asked him if he had any skill
	To catch them a small bird or two
	Oh yes, I've a very good skill
	Oh yes, I've a very good skill
	And it's come along with me to yonder flowering tree
	And I'll catch a small bird or two
	So it's off to the greenwood went they
	And it's off to the greenwood went they
	And he's tapped at the bush and the bird it did fly in
	A little above their lily white knee
	Her sparkling eyes they did turn around
	Just as if she had been all in a swoon
	And she cried, â€½I've a bird and a very pretty bird
	And he's pecking away at his own groundâ€
	Here's a health to the bird in the bush
	Here's a health to the bird in the bush
	And we'll drink up the sun, we'll drink down the moon
	Let the people say little or much
	There is a thorn bush in our Cale yard
	There is a thorn bush in our Cale yard
	At the back o'thorn bush, there lays a lad and lass
	And they're busy, busy fairing at the cuckoo's nest
	Hi the cuckoo, ho the cuckoo, hi the cuckoo's nest
	Hi the cuckoo, ho the cuckoo, hi the cuckoo's nest
	I'd give anybody a shilling and a bottle of the best
	That'll rumple up the feathers in the cuckoo's nest
	It is thorn and it is prickle, it is compassed all around
	It is thorn and it is prickle, and it isn't easy found
	She said, â€½Young man, you blunderâ€, and I said, "It isn't true"
	And I left her with the makings of a young cuckoo
	Hi the cuckoo, ho the cuckoo, hi the cuckoo's nest
	Hi the cuckoo, ho the cuckoo, hi the cuckoo's nest
	I'd give anybody a shilling and a bottle of the best
	That'll rumple up the feathers in the cuckoo's nest

	Three maidens amilking did go
