Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
she wobbles when she flies
she don't ever hire a cuckoo
till the fourth day of july
jack of diamonds
jack of diamonds
i know you of old
you rob my poor pockets of silver and gold
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
i wish that seh was mine
she don't ever drink water
she only drinks wine
Gonna build me a log cabin
on a mountain so high
so i can see willy
when he goes on by
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
she wobbles when she flies
she don't ever hire a cuckoo
till the fourth day of july
