The Cuckoo (Toad Session)

oh the cuckoo is a pretty bird
she wobbles as she flies
she brings us glad tidings
and tells us no lies
she sucks on pretty flowers
to make her voice clear
but she never sings a cuckoo
'till the spring of the year
come all in young women
take warning by me
never pace your kind affection
on a love of a man
for the roots they will wither
and branches decay
he'll turn his back upon you
and walks where away
a meeting it's a pleasure
and parting is a grief
while [an in come stay]? lover
is worse than a thief
a thief he'll but rob you and take what you have
while [an in come stay]? lover will lead you to your grave
oh the cuckoo is a pretty bird
she wobbles as she flies
she brings us glad tidings
and tells us no lies
