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, well 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, ooh, whoo, ooh...
