about

Originally recorded by Clarence Ashley in 1927 (though it dates back far further) and made popular by Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music. Every human being should be aware of those things.

lyrics

Gonna build me a log cabin
In a mountain oh so high
So that I can catch Willie
As he goes passing by

Oh the coo-coo is a pretty bird
She warbles as she cries
But I never heard her holler
Till the first day of July

I played cards in England
I played cards in Spain
I bet you ten dollars
I'll beat you next game

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

My horses aint hungry
They won't eat your hay
So I'll push on a little further
and feed them on the way
