Cuckoo

Mm.

So there's another song that you've recorded with Rising Appalachia that's one of the oldest survivors of that pil- pilgrimage from, uh, to America from England, The Cuckoo.

And to my knowledge, this song was originally a reference to the actual cuckoo bird who lays its eggs in other birds' nests and then has them raise their young.

And as with many songs, after spending time in America, it shifted to include floating verses, which are verses you can find in several other folk tunes and otherwise, uh, about a log cabin, the jack of diamonds, playing cards.

Um, maybe we can play that one and get Shawn Lane back out here on fiddle and help us out-

All right

... on The Cuckoo?

Let's do it.
