Song Of The Coo Coo

(アルバム： Folk Song Book - 1964)

Who will get a song of the coo coo who will get a bark of the dog
Who will see the stars who will point to Mars who will taste the smell of the fog
Who will pick the strings of the banjo who will feel the heat of the sun
Who will whisper words like I love you when this old world is gone

I've built me a house in the country beside it I plant me a vine
How long it grows God only knows will I be around to see it climb
But if I should marry my darling and my darling gives me a son
Will he get a song of the coo coo before this world is done

Who can answer these questions who knows the facts of the case
There is a man answers in his hand in your mirror you can see his face
This world is ours for the taking or this world will soon burn away
And in you and I and the coo coo we will have had our day
