The Cuckoo Lyrics
You know the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
Baby, but she warble, woman, as she fly
But she never, never holler cuckoo
Until the fourth day of July
Mama, mama
Sweet mama
Tell your boy not to be a gambling man
'Cause the cards will cheat him
Lord they will beat him
And they'll leave him with a losing hand
Jack of Diamonds
You Jack of Diamonds
You robbed my poor pocket of silver and gold
First you hurt me
Then you desert me
Then you leave me out in the cold
I'm gonna buy me
Baby, I'm gonna buy me
A little cabin, woman, on the mountain top
You know I'm gonna stay there
Baby, I'm just gonna lay there
I'm gonna stay there
I don't care if the whole world comes to a stop
You know the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
Woman, and she warble, baby, and she warble as she fly
But she never holler cuckoo
Until the fourth day of July
Baby, but she warble, woman, as she fly
But she never, never holler cuckoo
Until the fourth day of July
Sweet mama
Tell your boy not to be a gambling man
'Cause the cards will cheat him
Lord they will beat him
And they'll leave him with a losing hand
You Jack of Diamonds
You robbed my poor pocket of silver and gold
First you hurt me
Then you desert me
Then you leave me out in the cold
Baby, I'm gonna buy me
A little cabin, woman, on the mountain top
You know I'm gonna stay there
Baby, I'm just gonna lay there
I'm gonna stay there
I don't care if the whole world comes to a stop
Woman, and she warble, baby, and she warble as she fly
But she never holler cuckoo
Until the fourth day of July
