Lyrics

Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
She wobbles when she flies
She don't ever holler cuckoo
Till the fourth day of July
Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds
I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and gold
Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
I wish that she was mine
She don't ever drink water
She only drink wine
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Gonna build me a cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see Willie
When he goes on by
Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
She wobbles when she flies
She don't ever holler cuckoo
Till the fourth day of July
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
