BOB DYLAN
"The Cuckoo (Is A Pretty Bird) (The Gaslight Cafe, NYC, 1962)"
Oh, the cuckoo is a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But she never sings cuckoo
'Til the forth day in July
I've a-gambled in England
I've gambled in Spain
I bet you ten dollars
That I'll beat you next game
I bet me a cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see Mary
As she goes right by
I wish I was a poet
And could write a fine hand
I'd write my love letters
Lawd, she'd understand
