The Cuckoo (A Song Will Rise 1965)

Текст песни Peter, Paul and Mary - The Cuckoo (A Song Will Rise 1965)

Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies
She never gets lonesome till the first 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

Jack o' diamonds, jack o' diamonds, I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets of silver and of gold

Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies
She never gets lonesome till the first day of July
