The Cuckoo - Thursday at 7-21 AM

jaronchilds

O the cuckoo, she’s a pretty bird
and she warbles when she flies
she never hollers cuckoo
til the fourth day of July

Gonna build me a log cabin
on a mountain so high
so I can see the cuckoo
when she goes on by

I’ve played cards in England
I have played cards in Spain
I bet you ten dollars
that I’ll beat you next game

Jaco of diamonds, Jack of diamonds
I have known you from old
you robbed my poor pocket
of my silver and my gold

my horses, they ain’t hungry
and they won’t eat your hay
so fare thee well my darling
for I’m going away
