The Cuckoo Bird Liedtext
Gonna build me a cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see Willie
As he goes passing by
(Chorus)
Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
And she warbles as she flies
She never hollers cuckoo
Till the fourth day of July
(Solo)
I've played cards in England
I've played cards in Spain
I'll bet you ten dollars
I'll beat you next game
(Chorus)
(Solo II: Electric Boogaloo)
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and gold
(Chorus x2)
(Solo with a Vengeance)
My old hen's a good old hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes eight, sometimes ten
That's enough for the railroad men
Cluck old hen, cluck and sing
You ain't laid an egg since late last spring
Cluck old hen, cluck and squall
You ain't laid an egg since late last fall
My old hen's a good old hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes one, sometimes two
Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew
Cluck old hen, cluck and sing
You ain't laid an egg since late last spring
Cluck old hen, cluck and squall
You ain't laid an egg since late last fall
(Live Free or Solo (a.k.a. Solo 4.0))

I do not understand why this particular lyrics it is classified among the traditional English when all the examples of artists mentioned are American.

Well...actually this is a version found from Anglo-Celts in southern US in 1920s.But the song Cuckoo is an ballad from England.
Moved into proper artist page considering video attached to this song's lyrics.
