I’m gonna build a log cabin
In the mountains so high
So I can see Lilly
As she rides on by
Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird
She sings as she flies
She never holler cuckoo
Till the 4th of July
I’ve played cards in England
I’ve played cards in Spain
I bet you 10 dollars
I’m gonna beat you next game
Jack of diamonds
Jack of diamonds
I’ve known you from old
You robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and my gold
Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird
She sings as she flies
She’s keeping no secrets
She’s telling no lies
