Cuckoo
Hurray for the Riff Raff
[Chorus]
Oh the cuckoo, oh the cuckoo
Oh the cuckoo, she sings her song
But she never hollers cuckoo
Since my lover's been dead and gone
[Verse]
Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds
You have robbed me and now I'm poor
How I wish I had jack of diamonds
When I was on that gamblin' floor
Gonna ride my horse of auburn
To the valley where there ain't no pain
I am going out to the country
Where there ain't no one who knows my name
[Chorus]
Well, oh the cuckoo, oh the cuckoo
Oh the cuckoo, she sings her song
But she never has hollered cuckoo
Since my lover's been dead and gone
[Verse]
Well, if you miss me, if you miss me
You can come home at any time
Just you lift your wings of ivory
Fly to this lonesome home of mine
