Not really the lyrics but nearly. There's a corner in the meadow where the lads and lasses meet Oh they do here what they couldn't do out in the open street Oh they play all kinds of games there, but the one I like the best Is when every laddie rumples up the cuckoo's nest. Chorus: Oh it's high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest It's high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest I'll give you a shilling and a bottle of the best If you rumple up the feathers of me cuckoo's nest I wooed her in the morning and I had her in the night She was my very first one so I tried to do it right I searched around and wandered and I never would have guessed If she hadn't showed me where to find her cuckoo's nest Chorus When she showed me where to find it I knew just where to go Through the underbrush and brambles where the little cuckoos grow From the moment that I found it, she would never let me rest From rumpling up the feathers of her cuckoo's nest. Chorus It was bushy, it was prickled, it was feathered all around It was tucked away so neatly and it wasn't easy found Though she said young man you're blundering, I knew it wasn't true For I left her with the makings of a young cuckoo
i had this great album - a couple of tracks refer to nottingham stories - pleased to find it as mine was lost in a house fire along with 3000 others!
Julie cassidy gosling ...sad story, such a loss of music. Would drive me mad (or pretty close to...) Have around 3000 myself
a burnt offering
thanks for putting this on very good song
Not really the lyrics but nearly.
There's a corner in the meadow where the lads and lasses meet
Oh they do here what they couldn't do out in the open street
Oh they play all kinds of games there, but the one I like the best
Is when every laddie rumples up the cuckoo's nest.
Chorus:
Oh it's high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest
It's high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest
I'll give you a shilling and a bottle of the best
If you rumple up the feathers of me cuckoo's nest
I wooed her in the morning and I had her in the night
She was my very first one so I tried to do it right
I searched around and wandered and I never would have guessed
If she hadn't showed me where to find her cuckoo's nest
Chorus
When she showed me where to find it I knew just where to go
Through the underbrush and brambles where the little cuckoos grow
From the moment that I found it, she would never let me rest
From rumpling up the feathers of her cuckoo's nest.
Chorus
It was bushy, it was prickled, it was feathered all around
It was tucked away so neatly and it wasn't easy found
Though she said young man you're blundering, I knew it wasn't true
For I left her with the makings of a young cuckoo
ok,
