Mik2 Lyr Req: Hobart Smith's Cuckoo - one early verse (18) RE: Lyr Req: Hobart Smith's Cuckoo - one early verse 06 Feb 14

Hobart seems to have 'cut' some of his words on purpose, I remembered the Folk Legacy record of Cuckoo Bird, where he did this to great effect.
Another almost contemporary (in age), Charlie Poole, did this all the time.

Thanks, Bob Coltman, for explaining the difference of the two tunes, and for suggestion of lyrics.
