You know the cuckoo |
|
Shes a pretty bird |
|
Baby but she warble woman as she fly |
|
but she never, never heard a cuckoo |
|
until the Fourth Day of July |
|
Mama, mama |
|
Ooh, sweet mama |
|
Tell you boy not to be a gamblin' man |
|
Cuz the card'll cheat em' |
|
lord they will beat him |
|
and they'll leave him with a losin' hand |
|
Jack o' Diamonds |
|
yeah, Jack o' Diamonds |
|
well, ya robbed my poor pocket o' silver and gold |
|
first ya hurt me |
|
then ya desert me |
|
then ya leave me out in the cold |
|
I'm gonna buy me |
|
Baby, I'm gonna buy me |
|
a little cabin on the mountain top |
|
you know I'm gonna stay there |
|
Baby I'm just gonna lay there |
|
I don't care if the whole world come to a stop |
|
You know the cuckoo is a pretty bird |
|
baby but she warble as she fly |
|
but baby you never heard a cuckoo |
|
until the fourth of july |
