lyrics

Gonna build me a log cabin
On a mountain top so high
So I can see Willy
As she goes walking by

Well the cuckoo is a pretty bird
She warbles when she flies
And she never cries cuckoo
Till the fourth day of July

Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
I remember you from days of old
You rob my poor pockets
Of my silver and all my gold

The cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles when she flies
She never hollers cuckoo
Until the fourth day of July

I gambled all through England
I've gambled all the way through Spain
I bet you oh ten dollars
I'll beat you in this next card game

Well the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles when she flies
And she never hollers cuckoo
Till the fourth day of July
