lyrics

The Coo-Coo Bird
(Traditional)

Oh, the coo-coo, well, she’s a pretty bird
She wobbles as she flies
Well, she don’t ever holler coo-coo
’Til the fourth day of July

Jack-a-diamonds, Jack-a-diamonds
I know you from old
You robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and my gold

Well, I’ve played cards in England
I’ve gambled in Spain
Well, I bet you ten dollars
I’ll beat you next game

For workin’, well, I’m too lazy
For beggin’, that’s too low
Train robbin’, that’s too dangerous
So to gamblin’ I do go

I wish I was a poet
With a very fine hand
Well, I’d write my love a letter
Maybe the she’d understand

Gonna build me a log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see Willie
As she goes passin’ by

Oh, the coo-coo, well, she’s a pretty bird
She wobbles as she flies
Well, she don’t ever holler coo-coo
’Til the fourth day of July

Oh, the coo-coo, well, she’s a pretty bird
She wobbles as she flies
Well, she don’t ever holler coo-coo
’Til the fourth day of July
