The Weavers - A-Walkin' and A-Talkin' lyrics

The cuckoo is a pretty bird, she sings as she flies She brings us the tidings and tells us no lies She feeds on the pretty flowers in the spring of the year And sings of my false love in a voice true and clear A-walkin' and a-talkin', a-walkin' goes I To meet my false lover and hear him deny But if I'm forsaken, I have not fore sworned And he surely mistaken to think I shall mourn For I can love little and I can love long And I can love a sweetheart 'til a new one comes along I can hug him, I can kiss him and prove my heart kind And turn my back on him and likewise my mind A-walkin' and a-talkin', a-walkin' goes I To meet with my true love, we'll meet by and by To walk and talk together it's all my delight To walk and talk together from evening till night
