the cuckoo
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird She wobbles when she flies She don't ever hire a cuckoo Till the fourth day of July Jack of diamonds Jack of diamonds I know you of old You rob my poor pockets of silver and gold  Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird I wish that she was mine She don't ever drink water She only drinks wine  Gonna build me a log cabin On a mountain so high So I can see Willy When he goes on by  Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird She wobbles when she flies She don't ever hire a cuckoo Till the fourth day of July
