- Pentangle The Cuckoo 歌詞
- Pentangle
- The Cuckoo is a pretty bird, she sings as she flies.
She bringeth good tidings, she telleth no lies
She sucketh white flowers for to keep her voice clear
And she never sings 'cuckoo' till summer draweth near
As I once was a-walking and talking one day
I met my own true love as he came that way
Though the meeting him was pleasure, though the courting was woe
For Ive found him false hearted, hed kiss me, and then hed go.
I wish I was a scholar and could handle the pen.
Id write to my lover and to all roving men
I would tell them of the grief and woe that attend on their lies
I would wish them have pity on the flower, when it dies
