lyrics
well the Cuckoo
She's a pretty bird
she never
hollers cuckoo
until the fourth day of july
gonna build me
a log cabin
on the mountain so high
so I can see willy
as he goes passing by
I've played cards in old England
I've played cards in Spain
I'll bet you
my last $10
that I'll beat you this next game
jack of diamonds
jack of diamonds
I've known you
from old
you've robbed my
poor pockets
of silver
and gold
She's a pretty bird
she never
hollers cuckoo
until the fourth day of july
gonna build me
a log cabin
on the mountain so high
so I can see willy
as he goes passing by
I've played cards in old England
I've played cards in Spain
I'll bet you
my last $10
that I'll beat you this next game
jack of diamonds
jack of diamonds
I've known you
from old
you've robbed my
poor pockets
of silver
and gold

Heaven Among The Hills
