lyrics

Oh William, why did you blow away?
I was unaware we had so little time.

Oh, the cuckoo! She warbles as she flies.

I have lain down the comb
the only token I could leave
I hope that you found it
the only token I could leave

I would have been forever faithful
no one had warned never to trust in you

Oh, the cuckoo! She warbles as she flies.

I have lain down the comb
the only token I could leave
I hope that you found it
the only token I could leave

Roots they will whither, branches they will decay
It wasn't long till you turned away

Oh, the cuckoo! She warbles as she flies.

I have lain down the comb
the only token I could leave
I hope that you found it
the only token I could leave

the only token I could leave
