Old woman, old woman, shall I kiss you dearly ? Thank you, kind sir, I hear very clearly. The Cuckoo’s a bonny bird, She sings as she flies, She brings us good tidings, And tells us no lies. She sucks little birds’ eggs, To make her voice clear, And never cries " Cuckoo!” Till spring-time of the year.
