[Gm]
[Bb] [F] [Gm]
Gonna build me a log cabin on a mountain so high
So I can see Willie as he goes pacing by
Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
She wumbles as she flies
She never says cuckoo
Tell him, old Dave, I've
[F] [Gm]
played cards in England
I've played cards in Spain
I'll bet you ten dollars I'll beat you next game
[F] [Gm]
Cacodemon, Cacodemon, I've known you from old
You've robbed my poor pocket
I'm a seabird and a cull
[F]
[Gm] My horses ain't hungry
They won't eat you
So hey, I'll ride a little further
I'll feed them on my way
[Bb]
[Gm]
