The Cuckoo Lyrics


Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
She sings as she flies
She never gets lonesome
Till the first day of JulyI've gambled in England
And I've gambled down in Spain
I gambled with five aces
Now I've gambled my last gameOh, it's gamblin' that's brought me prison
And it's gamblin' that's brought me pain
I'll never see the cuckoo
Or hear her song againJack o' diamonds, jack o' diamonds
I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and of gold

The trio Peter, Paul and Mary (often PP&M) is an American musical group that was one of the most successful folk-singing groups of the 1960s. The trio comprises Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers. The group was created by manager Albert Grossman, who sought to create a folk "supergroup" by bringing together "a tall blonde (Travers), a funny guy (Stookey), and a good looking guy (Yarrow)." He launched the group in 1961, booking them into the Bitter End, a coffee house in New York City's Greenwich Village that was a favorite place to hear folk artists.
