The Cuckoo |
| Well the cuckoo, she’s a pretty bird |
| And she warbles as she flies |
| She’ll never say cuckoo |
| 'Til the fourth day of July |
| Well for working, I’m too lazy |
| And for begging, that’s too slow |
| Train a-robbing, too dangerous |
| So to gamble, did I go |
| Jack o' diamonds, jack o' diamonds |
| Well I’ve known, I’ve know you of old |
| You robbed my poor pockets |
| Of their Silver and their gold |
| Headin' out on Tenkiller Mountain |
| I’m gonna build me, I’m gonna build me a still |
| I’ll sell ya two gallons |
| For a five dollar bill |
| I’ll go to Montana |
| If the moon shone any light |
| But my pony can’t travel |
| This dark road tonight |
| Well it’s one side |
| And it’s sweetheart |
| And her age was sixteen |
| She was the flower of the and the rose of Selene |
| But her parents were against me |
| Now she is the same |
| If I’ve written your book, love |
| You’ve just blot out my name |
| Well the cuckoo, she’s a pretty bird |
| And she warbles as she flies |
| She’ll never say cuckoo |
| 'Til the fourth day of July |
