Singer - Sam Hutchings
This is an Americanised version of a well known English folk song. (Roud 413)
After the first couplet, it has changed almost beyond recognition.

Yeah, the coo coo she's a pretty bird
Oh, she warbles as she flies
And she never cries coo coo
Till the fourth day of July

Gonna build me a log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see my Willie
As he goes running by

Well, I've played cards in England
And I've gambled down in Spain
And I'll bet you one dollar
That I'll beat you next game

Jack of diamonds, oh, Jack of diamonds
I've known you of old
You robbed my poor pockets
Of the silver and his gold

My horses ain’t hungry
They won’t eat your hay
Goin’ a ride them a little further
I wonder why you came this way

Yeah, the coo coo she's a fine bird
Oh, I wish that she were mine
And she always brings water
And she never tells no lies
