The Everly Brothers
CUCKOO BIRD
CHORUS:
Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird; she warbles as she flies
But I never give her water till the 4th day of July
It is often that I wonder why women love men
& I look back & I wonder why men are men
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Gonna build me a castle on a mountain so high
So I can see my true love as she passes by
(chorus)
Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds, I know you of old
You have robbed me my whole pockets of silver & gold
(repeat chorus & fade)

Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.
It is often that I wonder
Why women love men
And I look back and I wonder
Why men are men.
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.
Gonna build me a castle
On a mountain so high
So then I can see my true love
As she passes by.
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.
--- Instrumental ---
Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds
I know you of old
You have robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and the gold.
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water

Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird,
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
'til the fourth day of July.
It is often that I wonder
Why women love men
And I look back and I wonder
Why men are men
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird,
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
'til the fourth day of July.
Gonna build me a castle
On a mountain so high
So I can see my true love
As she passes by
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird,
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
'til the fourth day of July.
Jack o' diamonds, jack o' diamonds,
I know you of old
You have robbed me of my poor pockets
Of silver and gold.
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird,
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
'til the fourth day of July.
I've gambled in England,
And I've gambled down in Spain.
I gambled with five aces,
Now I've gambled my last game.
Oh, it's gamblin' that's brought me prison,
And it's gamblin' that's brought me pain
I'll never see the cuckoo
Or hear her song again
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird,
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
