The Cuckoo

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
