[Intro]
G Em C D
[Verse 1]
G Em C D Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies G Em C D She never gets lonesome 'til the first day of July
[Verse 2]
G Em C D I've gambled in England, and I've gambled down in Spain G Em C D I gambled with five aces, now I've gambled my last game
[Verse 3]
G Em C D Oh, it's gamblin' that's brought me prison, and it's gamblin' that's brought me pain G Em C D I'll never see the cuckoo or hear her song again
[Verse 4]
G Em C D Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds, I know you of old G Em C D You robbed my poor pocket of silver and of gold
[Interlude]
G Em C D
[Verse 5]
G Em C D Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies G Em C D G She never gets lonesome 'til the first day of July
