Music Monday: Cuckoo

 Y'all. I love Rising Appalachia...but this song is just AMAZING. I can't even put into words yet why it strikes me so, but I can tell you that this song speaks in the voice of one of the MCs and I am obsessed.  Enjoy, won't you?




[Chorus]
Oh, the cuckoo
She’s a pretty bird
And she warbles as she flies
And she never
Hollers 'cuckoo'
'Til the fourth day of July

[Verse 1]
Jack of diamonds
Jack of diamonds
I know you from old
You’ve robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and gold

[Verse 2]
Gonna build me
A log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can
See Whitlock
As he passes by

Oh, the cuckoo
She’s a pretty bird
How I wish she was mine
She never drinks whiskey
She only drinks wine

[Chorus]
Oh, the cuckoo
She’s a pretty bird
And she warbles as she flies
She never
Hollers 'cuckoo'
'Til the fourth day of July

Mmm-hmm
Uh-huh
Mmm...
Mmm-hmm
Uh-huh
Mmm...
