Peter, Paul & Mary - The Cuckoo lyrics

Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
She sings as she flies
She never gets lonesome
Till the first day of July

I've gambled in England
And I've gambled down in Spain
I gambled with five aces
Now I've gambled my last game

Oh, it's gamblin' that's brought me prison
And it's gamblin' that's brought me painPeter, Paul & Mary - The Cuckoo - http://motolyrics.com/peter-paul-and-mary/the-cuckoo-lyrics.html
I'll never see the cuckoo
Or hear her song again

Jack o' diamonds, jack o' diamonds
I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and of gold

Oh, the cuckoo, she is a pretty bird
She sings as she flies
She never gets lonesome
Till the first day of July
