The Cuckoo Lyrics

[00:00.000]	作词 : Anne Briggs
[00:00.150]	作曲 : Anne Briggs
[00:00.300]	The cuckoo's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies.
[00:08.320]	She brings us good tidings, tells us no lies.
[00:16.840]	She sucks the little birds' eggs to keep her voice clear,
[00:24.240]	And when she sings "cuckoo!" the summer draws near.
[00:32.750]	As I walked down by the side of a bush
[00:40.220]	I heard two birds whistling, the blackbird and the thrush.
[00:47.460]	I asked them the reason so merry they be,
[00:54.590]	And the answer they gave me, we are single and we are free.
[01:02.460]	A-walking, a-talking, a-walking was I,
[01:10.900]	To meet my true lover, he'll come by and by,
[01:18.770]	To meet him in the meadows is all my delight,
[01:26.060]	A-walking and talking from morning till night.
[01:34.280]	Meeting is pleasure but parting is a grief
[01:42.540]	And an inconstant lover is worse than a thief.
[01:49.830]	A thief can but rob me and take all I have,
[01:56.530]	But an inconstant lover sends me to my grave.
[02:04.980]	And the grave, it will rot me and bring me to dust,
[02:13.070]	An inconstant lover no maiden can trust,
[02:20.850]	They'll court you and kiss you and vow they'll be true
[02:26.460]	And the very next moment they'll bid you adieu.
[02:34.860]	The cuckoo's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies,
[02:42.340]	She brings us glad tidings, tells us no lies,
[02:50.200]	And when her time is come, her voice we don't hear,
[02:57.160]	And where she goes we do not know until another year.
