The Cuckoo's Nest

Lyrics

As I was a walking one morning in May
 I met a pretty fair maid and unto her did say
 I'll tell you me mind, it's for love I am inclined
 An me inclination lies in your cuckoo's nest
 Some like a girl who is pretty in the face
 and some like a girl who is slender in the waist
 But give me a girl who will wriggle and will twist
 At the bottom of the belly lies the cuckoo's nest
 Me darling, says she, I am innocent and young
 And I scarcely can believe your false deluding tongue
 Yet I see it in your eyes and it fills me with surprise
 That your inclination lies in me cuckoo's nest
 me darling, says me, if you can see it in me eyes
 Then think of it as fondness and do not be surprised
 For I live you me dear and I'll marry you I swear
 If you'll let me clap my hand on your cuckoo's nest
 Me darling, says she, I can do no such thing
 For me mother often told me it was committing sin
 Me maidenhead to lose and me sex to be abused
 So have no more to do with me cuckoo's nest
 Me darling, says me, it's not committing sin
 But common sense should tell you it is a pleasing thing
 For you were brought into this world to increase and do your best
 And to help a man to heaven in your cuckoo's nest
 Me darling, says she, I cannot you deny
 For you've surely won my heart by the rolling of your eye
 Yet I see it in your eyes that your courage is surprised
 So gently lift your hand into me cuckoo's nest
 This couple they got married and soon they went to bed
 And now this pretty fair maid has lost her maidenhead
 In a small country cottage they increase and do their best
 And he often claps his hand on her cuckoo's nest
