Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies
She never gets lonesome 'til the first day of July
I've gambled in England
And I've gambled down in Spain
I gambled with five aces
Now I've gambled my last game
Oh, it's gamblin' that's brought me prison
And it's gamblin' that's brought me pain
I'll never see the cuckoo, or hear her song again
Jack o' diamonds, jack o' diamonds
I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets
Of silver, and of gold
ย
Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
She sings as she flies
She never gets lonesome 'til the first day of July
