Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
Em Am
And she warbles as she flies
Am
And she never holler cuckoo
Em Am
'Til the 4th day of July

[Verse 2]

Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds
Em Am
You're the meanest card I know.
Am
Well you've robbed my poor pockets
Em Am
Of the silver and the gold

[Verse 3]
Am
I'm goin up up on a mountain
Em Am
I' m gonna build me a whiskey still
Am
And I'll sell you one bottle
Em Am
For a twenty dollar-bill

[Verse 4]
Am
I'm going up upon a hillside
Em Am
And I'm gonna stand lookin' down
Am
So I can see my little baby
Em Am
Whenever she comes walkin' round

[Verse 5]
Am
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
Em Am
And she warbles as she flies
Am
And she never holler cuckoo
Em Am
'Til the 4th day of July
