Oh it's night-o after night love
I do lay on me bed
With a feathery
pillow all under my head
Neither waking nor sleeping
No rest can I find
For the
thoughts of that young man
He still troubles my mind.
I will rise up and meet
him
As the evening draws nigh
I will meet him as the evening,
As the evening draws
nigh
And if you love another, your mind for to ease
Oh why can't you love the old
one
Til the young's learned to please?
It's like the flowers all in your
garden
When their beauty's all gone.
Can't you see what I've come to
By your loving
that one?
Oh the grave he will rot you
He will turn you to dust.
There's not one
young man out of twenty
That a poor girl can trust.
Oh the cuckoo ain't she a merry
bird
Don't she sing as she flies
She brings us glad tidings
And she tells us no
lies
She sucks the small birds' eggs
For to keep her voice clear
And whenever she
hollers "Cuckoo"
Don't the summer draw near.
Collected from Gypsy singer Queen
