Cuckoo

Oh the cuckoo

Oh the cuckoo

Oh the cuckoo

She sings her song

But she never

Hollers cuckoo

Since my lovers

Been dead and gone

Jack of diamonds

Jack of diamonds

You have robbed me

And now I'm poor

How I wish I

Had Jack of diamonds

When I was on that

Gambling floor

Gonna ride my

Horse of auburn

To the valley

Where there ain't no pain

I am going

Out to the country

Where there ain't no one

Who knows my name

Well oh the cuckoo

Oh the cuckoo

Oh the cuckoo

She sings her song

But she never

Has hollered cuckoo

Since my lovers

Been dead and gone

Well if you miss me

If you miss me

You can come home

At any time

Just you lift your

Wings of ivory

Fly to this lonesome

Home of mine
