Song: The Cuckoo

  • Print

3 Part round

'Twas on a summer's evening,
I walked the forest through
When suddenly I heard it,
A sweet and low cuckoo

Cuckoo, cuckoo,
Cuckoo, cuckoo cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo,
Cuckoo, cuckoo cuckoo

Mister Moon, Mister Moon you're out too soon,
The sun is still in the sky.
Go back to bed and cover up your head
Wait 'till the night draws nigh.
