A5
Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
            E5            A5
And she warbles, as she flies

And she never, holler cuckoo
             E5         A5
Until the 4th day, of July

Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds
                E5           A5
You're the meanest, heart I know

Well you rob my, poor pockets
        E5             A5
Of the silver, and of gold

I'm going up, up on a mountain
           E5               A5
I'm gonna build me, a whiskey still

And I'll sell you, one bottle
        E5            A5
For a twenty, dollar-bill

I'm going up, up on a mountain
           E5             A5
I'm gonna stand, lookin' down

So I can see my, pretty baby
          E5                 A5
Whenever she, comes walking round

Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
          E5              A5
And she warbles, as she flies

And she never, holler cuckoo
          E5            A5
Until the 4th day, of July

Well I'll eat, when I'm hungry
          E5              A5
And I'll drink, when I'm dry

And if some woman, don't shoot me
          E5            A5
Then I'll live, a long time

Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds
           E5            A5
Well I've known you, of old

Well you rob my, poor pockets
          E5             A5
And you nearly, stole my soul

Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
           E5            A5
And she warbles, as she flies

Well she brings us, glad tidings
         E5             A5
And she never, tells no lies


                          E5          A5
Ohh-hoo-hoo, Mm-hmm-hmm , Mm-hmm , Mm-hmm-hmm
                          E5      A5
Mm-hmm-hmm , Mm-hmm-hmm , Mm-hmm , Mm-hmm
