Not so far to WhitsuntideG
And Cuckoo's come to stay nowH
Hear the valiant fellow shoutG
Down the orchard bare aE

Old Woman's let the Cuckoo outG
At Heffle Cuckoo Fair aE

When your heart is young and gayI
And the season rules itG
Work your works and play your playI
'Fore the Autumn cools itG
Kiss you turn and turn aboutG
But my lad beware aE

Old WomanF
Old Woman's let the Cuckoo outG
At Heffle Cuckoo Fair aE
