A-walkin' And A-talkin' Lyrics - Singles - The Weavers

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
