[Verse 1]
Oh, the cuckoo, she is a pretty bird, and she warbles when she flies
But she never hollers cuckoo till the fourth day of July

[Chorus]
Said Jack diamonds, well Jack diamonds, oh I know you of old
Honey you robbed me of my silver and out of all my gold
All of my gold, all of my gold

[Verse 2]
Well, Jack diamonds, oh Jack diamonds, oh I know you of old
Honey, you robbed me of my silver and out of all my gold

[Chorus]
Said the cuckoo, she is a cruel bird, and she warbles when she flies
And every time that she passes, my true love says good-bye
Well, says good-bye, well says good-bye
Ooh, ooh
