Coo Coo

Gonna build me a log cabin
on a mountain so high
so I can see Billie
as she goes drifting by

Oh the Coo Coo shes's a pretty bird
She woobles as she flies
She never haulers Coo Coo
until the first of July

I've played cards in England
I've played cards in Spain
I'll bet you ten dollars,
I'll beat you next game

Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds
I've known you from old
You've robbed my poor pocket
of my silver and my gold

My horses feed hungry
They won't eat your hay
I'll ride on a little farther
I'll feed them on the way

Oh the Coo Coo shes's a pretty bird
She woobles as she flies
She never haulers Coo Coo
until the first of July
