         D
Oh, the cuckoo is a pretty bird
         F              D
An' she warbles as she flies
         D
But she never sings "Cuckoo"
           F               D
'till the fourth day 'n July

I've a-gambled in England
I've gambled in Spain
'An I betchu' ten dollars
That I'll beatchu' next game

I'll build me a cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see Mary
When she goes ridin' by

I wish I was a poet
An' could write a fine hand
I'd write my love a letter
Lawd she would understand
