The Cuckoo Bird lyrics

Gonna build me a cabin

On a mountain so high

So I can see Willie

As he goes passing by

(Chorus)

Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird

And she warbles as she flies

She never hollers cuckoo

Till the fourth day of July

(Solo)

I've played cards in England

I've played cards in Spain

I'll bet you ten dollars

I'll beat you next game

(Chorus)

(Solo II: Electric Boogaloo)

Jack of Diamonds

Jack of Diamonds

I know you of old

You robbed my poor pockets

Of my silver and gold

(Chorus x2)

(Solo with a Vengeance)

My old hen's a good old hen

She lays eggs for the railroad men

Sometimes eight, sometimes ten

That's enough for the railroad men

Cluck old hen, cluck and sing

You ain't laid an egg since late last spring

Cluck old hen, cluck and squall

You ain't laid an egg since late last fall

My old hen's a good old hen

She lays eggs for the railroad men

Sometimes one, sometimes two

Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew

Cluck old hen, cluck and sing

You ain't laid an egg since late last spring

Cluck old hen, cluck and squall

You ain't laid an egg since late last fall
