The Cuckoo Bird - lyrics
I'm gonna build me a log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see Lily
As she rides on by
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She never hollers cuckoo
Til the fourth day of July
I've played cards in England
I've played cards in Spain
I bet you ten dollars
I'm gonna beat you next game
Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds,
I've known you from old
You done robbed my poor pockets
Of all my silver and my gold
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She's keeping no secrets
She's telling no lies
