Cuckoo Songtext
von Hurray for the Riff Raff

Oh the cuckoo
Oh the cuckoo
Oh the cuckoo
She sings her song
But she never
Hollers cuckoo
Since my lovers
Been dead and gone

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
Gambling 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

Well oh the cuckoo
Oh the cuckoo
Oh the cuckoo
She sings her song
But she never
Has hollered cuckoo
Since my lovers
Been dead and gone

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
