about

Leonard first heard his father sing a version of this song inspired by Erik Darling’s take on it, but this version is inspired by Doc Watson and Clarence Ashley.

lyrics

(Trad,arr Power Wagon)

Gonna build me a log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see my honey babe
As she goes walkin' bye

Chorus:
Oh The Coo Coo
She's a pretty bird
And she wobbles as she flies
And she never says Coo Coo
'Till the 4th day of July

Jack O' diamonds, jack of diamonds
I have known you from old
You have robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver, and gold

Chorus

I have played cards in England
And I've gambled over in Spain
I'll bet you ten dollars
That I'll beat you next game

Chorus

My horses, they ain't hungry
No they won't eat your hay
I'll ride on a little bit further
I'll feed them on my way

Chorus
