The Cuckoo Lyrics by Jesco (NL)

Worms

2018

[Verse 1]
Well the cuckoo, it’s a pretty bird
As it wobbles and it flies
It will never say “cuckoo”
‘Till the fourth day of July
[Verse 2]
Well for working I’m too lazy
And for begging, that’s too slow
Train a-robbing, that’s too dangerous
So for gambling did I go
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
I have played cards in England
And I have played cards in Spain
I have played cards in Holland
Jack of diamonds was his name
[Verse 4]
Jack o’ Diamonds, Jack o’ Diamonds
I have known you, I’ve known you oh
You’ve robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and my gold
[Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
Now it’s bacon when I’m hungry
And it’s whiskey when I’m dry
It’s a woman for my loving
And religion when I die
