The Cuckoo by Donovan
Traditional
Well, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird and she warble as she fly
And she never warble cuckoo till the fourth day of July
Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds, well I know you of old
Well, you robbed my poor pocket of the silver and the gold.
Well, the cuckoo is a pretty bird and she warbles as she fly
But she never warble cuckoo till the fourth day of July
Well, I've gambled in London and I've gambled in Spain
And I bet you, my silver saddle, that I'll beat you next game.
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird and she warble as she fly
