Cuckoo Lyrics

Sam Amidon Cuckoo

Gonna build me a cabin in the mountains so high
I'll watch my cousin Willie as he passes by

Oh, cuckoo, she's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies
She never sings "cuckoo" 'til the Fourth of July

Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds, I know you from old
You stopped all my money on whiskey and gold

I played cards in England, I played cards in Spain
I'll bet you ten dollars I'll beat you this game

Oh, cuckoo, she's a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies
She never sings "cuckoo" 'til the Fourth of July
