Cuckoo

by Hurray For The Riff Raff

on My Dearest Darkest Neighbor (2013)

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
Jack of diamonds
Jack of diamonds
You have robbed me
And now I'm poor
How I wish I had a jack of diamonds
When I was on that gamblin' floor
Gonna ride my horse of auburn
To the valley where there aint no pain
I am going out to the country
Where there aint 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 lover's 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
Home of mine
