The Cuckoo

Lyrics

You know the cuckoo
 Shes a pretty bird
 Baby but she warble woman as she fly
 but she never, never heard a cuckoo
 until the Fourth Day of July
 Mama, mama
 Ooh, sweet mama
 Tell you boy not to be a gamblin' man
 Cuz the card'll cheat em'
 lord they will beat him
 and they'll leave him with a losin' hand
 Jack o' Diamonds
 yeah, Jack o' Diamonds
 well, ya robbed my poor pocket o' silver and gold
 first ya hurt me
 then ya desert me
 then ya leave me out in the cold
 I'm gonna buy me
 Baby, I'm gonna buy me
 a little cabin on the mountain top
 you know I'm gonna stay there
 Baby I'm just gonna lay there
 I don't care if the whole world come to a stop
 You know the cuckoo is a pretty bird
 baby but she warble as she fly
 but baby you never heard a cuckoo
 until the fourth of july
