The Cuckoo |
| Well, the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird and she warble as she fly |
| And she never warble cuckoo till the fourth day of July |
| Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds, well I know you of old |
| Well, you robbed my poor pocket of the silver and the gold |
| Well, the cuckoo is a pretty bird and she warbles as she fly |
| But she never warble cuckoo till the fourth day of July |
| Well, I’ve gambled in London and I’ve gambled in Spain |
| And I bet you, my silver saddle, that I’ll beat you next game |
| Oh, the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird and she warble as she fly |
| But she never warble cuckoo till the fourth day of July |
| Well, she brings us glad tidings and tells us no lies |
| Oh, the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird and she warble as she fly |
| Oh, the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird and she warble as she fly |
| But she never warble cuckoo till the fourth day of July |
| Little darlin', little darlin', I miss you on the road |
| Well, you are my only darlin', my one and only true abode |
| Oh, the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird and she warble as she fly |
| And she never warble cuckoo till the fourth day of July |
| Oh yeah, oh yeah |
