Well, the cuckoo is a pretty bird, and she warbles as she flies But the cuckoo never
warbles till the 15th of July
Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, and I know you of old
You ever robbed my whole pocket of that silver and gold
Well, the cuckoo is a pretty bird, and she warbles as she flies
But the cuckoo never warbles till the 15th of July
I've gambled in England, and I've gambled in Spain
If I ever gamble, I'll win your next game
I'll build me a cabin on the mountain so high
So I can save Willie as she goes passing by
Oh, yeah, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
The cuckoo is a pretty bird, and she warbles as she flies
But the cuckoo never warbles till the 15th of July
