The Coo Coo Bird (The Cuckoo)

Gonna build me log cabin on a mountain so high
So I can see Willie as he goes on by

Oh, the cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies
She never hollers cuckoo till the fourth day July

I've played cards in England, I've played cards in Spain
I'll bet you ten dollars I'll beat you next game

Jack-a-Diamonds, Jack-a-Diamonds, I've known you from old
Now you robbed my poor pocket of my silver and my gold

I've played cards in England, I've played cards in Spain
I'll bet you ten dollars I'll beat you this game

Oh, the cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies
She never hollers cuckoo till the fourth day July
