coo coo

oh

the cuckoo

she's a pretty bird

and she warbles when she flies

but she never hollers cuckoo till the fourth day of july. said jack o'diamonds

well jack o'diamonds

oh i know you of old

honey you robbed me of my silver and out of all my gold

all of my gold

all of my gold. well

jack o'diamonds

oh jack o'diamonds

oh i know you of old

honey

you robbed me of my silver and out of all my gold. said the cuckoo

she's a cruel bird

and she warbles when she flies

and every time that she passes

my true love says good-bye

well

says good-bye

well says good-bye

ooh

ooh.
