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 cuckooShe’s a pretty birdAnd she warbles as she fliesAnd she neverHollers 'cuckoo''Til the fourth day of July
[Verse 1]Jack of diamondsJack of diamondsI know you from oldYou’ve robbed my poor pocketsOf my silver and gold
[Verse 2]Gonna build meA log cabinOn a mountain so highSo I canSee WhitlockAs he passes by
Oh, the cuckooShe’s a pretty birdHow I wish she was mineShe never drinks whiskeyShe only drinks wine
[Chorus]Oh, the cuckooShe’s a pretty birdAnd she warbles as she fliesShe neverHollers 'cuckoo''Til the fourth day of July
Mmm-hmmUh-huhMmm...Mmm-hmmUh-huhMmm...
