Melissa "Cuckoo"

(lyrics found and modified)

* From album: "Midnight Trampoline"

Well, cuckoo is a pretty bird

And she wobbles and she wobbles and she wobbles

And she flies away

But she never follows, cuckoo

Till the first day of spring

[Jack of diamonds] 2x

And she rides my fourth pocket of silver

First you hurt me, then you desert me

And lead my mind astray

[Cuckoo] 4x

Well, mama tell your children

Not to be a gambler man

'Cause the cards, you know, they’ll get you

Then, then they’ll desert you

And lead your mind astray

[Cuckoo] 4x

Well, cuckoo is a pretty bird

And she wobbles and she wobbles and she wobbles

And she flies away

But she never follows cuckoo

Till the first day of spring

Well, mama tell your children

Not to be a gambler man

'Cause the cards, you know, they’ll get you

Then, then they’ll desert you

And lead your mind astray

[Jack of diamonds] 2x

And she rides my fourth pocket of silver

First you hurt me, then you desert me

And lead my mind astray
