Janis Joplin – Coo-Coo lyrics

Album: Big Brother & the Holding Company

Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird, and she warbles when she flies
But she never hollers cuckoo till the fourth day of july.

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler and I lay my money down
But I never start gamblin? when the cuckoo bird's around, round.

Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird, and she warbles when she flies
But she never hollers cuckoo till the fourth day of july.

Said jack o'diamonds, well jack o'diamonds, lord, I know you of old,
Honey you robbed me of my silver and out of my gold.
