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, oh 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...
