Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird |
|
She sings as she flies |
|
She never gets lonesome |
|
Till the first day of July |
|
I've gambled in England |
|
And I've gambled down in Spain |
|
I gambled with five aces |
|
Now I've gambled my last game |
|
Oh, 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 again |
|
Jack o' diamonds, jack o' diamonds |
|
I know you of old |
|
You robbed my poor pockets |
|
Of silver and of gold |
|
Oh, the cuckoo, she is a pretty bird |
|
She sings as she flies |
|
She never gets lonesome |
|
Till the first day of July |
