The Cuckoo |
| Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird |
| And she warbles as she flies |
| But 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 |
| Well I’m goin' up up on the mountain |
| I' m gonna build me a still |
| And I’ll sell you one gallon |
| For a two-dollar bill |
| Well, I’ll eat when I’m hungry |
| And I’ll drink when I’m dry |
| If some woman don’t shoot me |
| Then I’ll live 'til I die |
| Well for workin' I’m too lazy |
| And beggin' that’s too low |
| Well train robbin' that’s to dangerous |
| So a-gamblin' Ill go |
| Well the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird |
| And she warbles when she flies |
| Well she brings us glad tidings |
| Yes, she tells us no lies |
