Version I learned to sing:

Oh the cuckoo she's a good bird
She wobbles as she flies
And she never hollers cuckoo
'Til the fourth day of July

Gonna build me a log cabin
On a mountain so high
So that I can see my darlin'
As he walks on by

Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds
I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and gold

I've gambled in England
I've gambled in Spain
I bet you ten dollars
I'll beat you the very next game

Oh the cuckoo she's a good bird
She wobbles as she flies
And she never hollers cuckoo
'Til the fourth day of July
