I Didn't Drink x The Cuckoo (Mashup by CenturyNew)
I didn't drink, but I'm drunk. I didn't sip, but I'm gone. I can’t walk back home. No, I can’t walk back home. You left me spinning. You left me asking. This path dragged me out to the cherry trees. "Cuckoo, cuckoo" Pretty bird, fly over. Pretty bird, see clean. Warble above me and cut through this dream. Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird. She warbles as she flies. She never gets lonesome till the 4th day of July. "Cuckoo, cuckoo" Cuckoo, call once. Cuckoo, call twice. You sit up there counting my wrongs all night. Tell me, cuckoo, who has him tonight? Tell me, cuckoo, who has him tonight? "Cuckoo, cuckoo" You heard the road. You heard the lie. You saw his hands. You saw his eyes. If he is laid out by the cold road stone, God, lift him. God, bring him home. But if he is touching her, tell me now. If he is kissing her, call that out. If he’s by the road, God, lift him. If he’s in harm, God, lift him. If he lied, God, mark him. If he played me, God, mark him. Mercy for clean hands. Judgment for lies. Love ain’t license. Love ain’t a pass. "Cuckoo, cuckoo" Gonna build me a log cabin on the mountain so high, so I can see the cuckoo as she goes flying by. "Не пила́, а я пья́на!" "Не дойду я до до́му!" "Cuckoo, cuckoo" I’ve played cards in England. I gambled in Spain. I bet you ten dollars I’ll beat you next game. Jack of diamonds, I know you of old. You robbed my poor pocket of silver and gold. What has she got that I don’t carry? What did he want that I can’t name? Am I not good? Am I not bright? Am I not flesh? Am I not right? I am good. I am fine. I am whole. I am mine. I am good. I am fine. Я хорошая! Я пригожая! "Cuckoo, cuckoo" No end to this. No edge to this. I won’t forgive him easy. No, no, no. Bring truth back or stay gone. "Cuckoo, cuckoo" My horses ain’t hungry. They won’t eat your hay. Fare thee well, darling. I’m going away. Stay gone. Stay gone. I didn't drink, but I'm drunk. I didn't sip, but I'm gone. I can’t walk back home. No, I can’t walk back home. "Cuckoo, cuckoo" I didn't drink, hear me. I didn't drink, look at me. I didn't drink, but I'm drunk. I can’t walk back home. That house is not shelter. That house is a lock. Those cherry trees know what you did. Your parents don’t like me. They say I’m too poor. They say I’m not worthy to enter your door. No, not tonight. No, not that room. No, not that life. No more begging at your door. "ТЫ СКАЖИ́-КА, КУКУ́ШКА" "ГДЕ МОЙ МИ́ЛЫЙ НОЧУ́ЕТ?!" "Cuckoo, cuckoo" Had I known sooner marriage could bite, I would have split my braid and cut my own path. Had I known marriage would make me sit and shrink, I would have opened that door before I learned to sink. Had I known home could shut around my breath, I would have stood up early and walked past the debt. Build me that cabin on the mountain so high. Let the cuckoo pass over. Let the old life lie. "Cuckoo, cuckoo" This braid is mine. This door is mine. This road is mine. This leaving is mine. I won’t wait pretty. I won’t wait small. I won’t come crawling when you don’t call. If he’s hurt, God lift him. If he lied, God witness. If he’s hers, let him answer. If he’s mine, let him answer. "Cuckoo, cuckoo" Cuckoo, keep calling. Path, keep pulling. Cherry trees, witness. Braid, come loose. My horses ain’t hungry. They won’t eat your hay. Fare thee well, darling. I’m going away. I won't sit. I won’t soften. I won’t bless what broke me. "Cuckoo, cuckoo" I didn't drink, but I'm drunk. I didn't drink, but I'm drunk. I didn't drink, but I'm drunk. I can’t walk back home. I didn't drink. I didn't drink. But I know now.
