Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird, and she
warbles when she flies
But she never hollers cuckoo till the fourth day
of July.

Said Jack o'Diamonds, well Jack o'Diamonds, well
I know you of old,
Honey you robbed me of my silver and out of all
my gold,
All of my gold, all of my gold.

Well, Jack o'Diamonds, oh Jack o'Diamonds, oh I
know you of old,
Honey, you robbed me of my silver and out of all
my gold.

Said the cuckoo, she's a cruel bird, and she
warbles when she flies
And every time that she passes, my true love says
good-bye,
Well, says good-bye, well says good-bye,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, whoo, ooh ...
