Bonny Cuckoo (Roud 24351)

I first heard this lovely traditional springtime song from a recording by the beautiful Shirley Collins, one of the purest voices I’ve heard. She used to sing this at home with her family, and when Alan Lomax first heard it, apparently it brought him to tears. Imagine hearing that particular rendition!
Wishing you all a very happy May Day (belated), and a joyful summer to come...
We will be singing this in the first session of Birch Tree Folk Choir (link below if you’d like to join us)
