The Cuckoo |
| Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird |
| And she warbles as she flies |
| And she never holler cuckoo |
| 'Til the 4th day of July |
| Jack of Diamonds Jack of Diamonds |
| Well I’ve known you of old |
| Well you’ve robbed my poor pockets |
| Of the silver and the gold |
| I’m goin up up on a mountain |
| I' m gonna build me a whiskey still |
| And I’ll sell you one bottle |
| For a twenty dollar-bill |
| I’m going up upon a hillside |
| And I’m gonna stand lookin' down |
| So I can see my little baby |
| Whenever she is walking around |
| Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird |
| And she warbles as she flies |
| Well she brings us glad tidings |
| And she never tells no lies |
| Jack of Diamonds Jack of Diamonds |
| You’re the meanest card I know |
| Well you robbed my poor pockets |
| And you nearly stole my soul |
| Well, I’ll eat, when I’m hungry |
| And I’ll drink, when I’m dry |
| And if some woman don’t shoot me |
| Then I’ll live a long time |
| Ohh-hoo Ohh-hoo Ohh-hoo Ohh-hoo |
| Ohh-hoo Ohh-hoo Ohh-hoo Ohh-hoo |
