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's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies
|
She never gets lonesome till the first day of July.
