Kristin Hersh - Cuckoo lyrics

Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird

She wobbles when she flies

She don't ever hire a cuckoo

Till the fourth day of July

Jack of diamonds

Jack of diamonds

I know you of old

You rob my poor pockets of silver and gold

Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird

I wish that seh was mine

She don't ever drink water

She only drinks wine

Gonna build me a log cabin

On a mountain so high

So I can see Willy

When he goes on by

Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird

She wobbles when she flies

She don't ever hire a cuckoo

Till the fourth day of July
