Am                                
Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty 
              Em            Am
bird, and she warbles, as she flies
And she never, holler cuckoo, until 
       Em         Am
the 4th day, of July
Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, 
                Em           Am
you're the meanest, heart I know
Well you rob my, poor pockets, of 
     Em             Am
the silver, and of gold
I'm going up, up on a mountain, I'm 
       Em               Am
gonna build me, a whiskey still
And I'll sell you, one bottle, for a
   Em            Am
 twenty, dollar-bill
I'm going up, up on a mountain, I'm 
       Em             Am
gonna stand, lookin' down
So I can see my, pretty baby, 
          Em                 Am
whenever she, comes walking round
Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird, 
          Em              Am
and she warbles, as she flies
And she never, holler cuckoo, until 
    Em            Am
the 4th day, of July

Well I'll eat, when I'm hungry, and 
      Em              Am
I'll drink, when I'm dry
And if some woman, don't shoot me, 
          Em            Am
then I'll live, a long time
Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, 
           Em            Am
well I've known you, of old
Well you rob my, poor pockets, and 
      Em             Am
you nearly, stole my soul
Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird, 
           Em            Am
and she warbles, as she flies
Well she brings us, glad tidings, 
         Em             Am
and she never, tells no lies
                          Em    
Ohh-hoo-hoo, Mm-hmm-hmm, Mm-hmm,

Mm-hmm-hmm
