American folk traditional

lyrics

The cuckoo, she's a pretty bird. She wobbles as she flies.
But she won't sing the cuckoo, till the fourth day of July.

I'm gonna build me a log cabin on a mountain way up high.
So I can see the cuckoo as she goes flying' by.

Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds. I have known you of old.
You've robbed my poor pockets of my silver and my gold.

But I've gambled in France and I have gambled in Spain.
I'll be you ten dollars, I'll beat you next game.

I wish were a poet and could write in a fine hand.
I'l write her a love letter. Lord, she would understand.
