Curoo Curoo lyrics
The Clancy BrothersFor many a bird did wake and fly
Curoo, curoo-oo, curoo
For many a bird did wake and fly
To the manger bed with a wandering cry
On Christmas day in the morning
Curoo, curoo, curoo-oo-oo-oo
Curoo, curoo-oo, curoo-oo-oo-oo
The lark, the dove, the red bird came
Curoo, curoo-oo, curoo
The lark, the dove, the red bird came
And they did sing in sweet Jesus' name
On Christmas day in the morning
Curoo, curoo, curoo-oo-oo-oo
Curoo, curoo-oo, curoo-oo-oo-oo
The owl was there with eyes so wide
Curoo, curoo-oo, curoo
The owl was there with eyes so wide
And he did sing at sweet Mary's side
On Christmas day in the morning
Curoo, curoo, curoo-oo-oo-oo
Curoo, curoo-oo, curoo-oo-oo-oo
The shepherds knelt upon the hay
Curoo, curoo-oo, curoo
The shepherds knelt upon the hay
And the angels sang the night away
On Christmas day in the morning
Curoo, curoo, curoo-oo-oo-oo
Curoo, curoo-oo, curoo-oo-oo-oo
