Hurray For The Riff Raff – Cuckoo lyrics
[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
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
