Peter, Paul & Mary - The Cuckoo Lyrics
Oh the cuckoo shes a pretty bird, she sings as she fliesShe never gets lonesome till the first day of july.Ive gambled in england, and Ive gambled down in spain.I gambled with five aces, now Ive gambled my last game.Oh, its gamblin thats brought me prison,And its gamblin thats brought me painIll never see the cuckoo or hear her song againJack o diamonds, jack o diamonds, I know you of oldYou robbed my poor pockets of silver and of gold.Oh the cuckoo shes a pretty bird, she sings as she fliesShe never gets lonesome till the first day of july.
