"She never drinks whiskey, she only drinks wine!" Oh, lovely! I'd first heard this one from Canada's Uncle Sinner, but this sweet revision is just as wonderful! :)) Originally from England, I'd reckon The Cuckoo to be the Anglo-American equivalent to the British "Sovay the Female Highwayman", another pure and proper love ballad!
I had zero idea who this person was and I didn't expect anything special, with how saturated the Internet is with random amateurs. ... ummm, holy shit!!!!! Your comment says it all.
@@owlexSExcept NOTHING you see on the internet is REMOTELY “random”, it’s all specifically tailored towards YOU (and your very particular tastes and proclivities).
Beautiful version of this old song. In my version, the cuckoo is a male. "He sucks all the pretty flowers to make his voice clear, so he only sings cuckoo in the spring of the year."
Mesmerizing and soulful guitar playing and singing. I dig it ! Fire up the campfire. I will split wood and you can sing and play your guitar as long as you like. From: Steven 🌻✌️
This is cool. Please do chase those fiddles and banjos and that upright bass. You're really good. You can reach the top of that mountain. Just keep climbing. 🕊
The lilting instead of a violin comes across like a songbird, which feels very fitting. I had never heard the song before and just assumed that was how it went - you've set the bar for me now, such an enchanting interpretation!
SWEET, Love it, and one I don't know, yet sounded familiar. If you can find the time I'd appreciate you posting the lyrics. Keep it up and see where it goes, you have a great voice and an obvious passion for music! Give us more if you have them ☺
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies She never gets lonesome till the first day of July. I've gambled in England, and I've gambled down in Spain. I gambled with five aces, now I've gambled my last game. Oh, it's gamblin' that's brought me prison, And it's gamblin' that's brought me pain I'll never see the cuckoo or hear her song again Jack o' diamonds, jack o' diamonds, I know you of old You robbed my poor pockets of silver and of gold. Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies She never gets lonesome till the first day of July.
@@KentuckyRedneck13 appreciate the encouragement! There’s lots of different versions of the lyrics, as with many folk tunes :) - the ones i’m doing here are: Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird And she warbles as she flies She never hollers cuckoo Till the 4th day of July Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds How i know you from old You’ve robbed my poor pockets Of my silver and gold Gonna build me a log cabin On a mountain so high So i can see Whitlock As he passes by Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird How i wish she was mine She never drinks whiskey She only drinks wine Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird And they’ll try and cast their nets Jack of diamonds says a pretty word And they’ll try and place their bets But you can’t catch can’t catch freedom So you may as well fly too And you’ll never know what could’ve become Of the choice you let fall through.
Cant wait for More. My daughter is Vi too. You have something. Loved it♡ RUclips recommended it when i was listening to Sierra Ferrell. Very pleased it did.
I fell in love with this cover the second I’ve heard it, and I can’t get it out of my head since, you did a terrific job!! Could I ask you for the chords you were playing, or tabs maybe? I would LOVE to play this masterpiece myself ✨.
@@diablofrench7735 :) last verse is: Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird And they’ll try and cast their nets Jack of diamonds says a pretty word And they’ll try and place their bets But you can’t catch can’t catch freedom So you may as well fly too And you’ll never know what could’ve become Of the choice you let fall through.
Your parents house is very nice, it's a good thing they didn't come home from work while you're trying to record. I see you live in the attic, maybe you can move into the master bedroom when they pass away.
@@ultravioletarcher 😂 well, a person like you singing in a kitchen decorated by Martha Stewart got me laughing and inspired me to tippy tap away some words.

beautiful playing! And I love your stove lobster
I liked how you sang the banjo, it turned out very organically, as if the main melody received space and development❤
@@Alsh-m2n thanks for these thoughtful & dimensional comments alsh :) glad you’re here
I´ve never heard this song before, i´m intrigued. Captivating recording! I would love for it to be found by far more people!
That was different, stopped me in my tracks, i agree with all the comments here. Wonderful.
Damn, wasn't planning on falling in love today.
In the words of good ol Kurt, the bad Vonnegut; "so it goes", haha.
I had zero idea who this person was and I didn't expect anything special, with how saturated the Internet is with random amateurs.

Your comment says it all.
Yeah same here lol
What a sad perspective @owlexs
@@owlexSExcept NOTHING you see on the internet is REMOTELY “random”, it’s all specifically tailored towards YOU (and your very particular tastes and proclivities).
This is one of the greatest versions of this tunes ever, and I love how it's just this person on their kitchen counter lmao. You slayed it ♡
@@meredithmoon ppreciate you :)
Stunning 💛
First discovered this music through Gillian Welch and love it. Great version. Hope to hear more from you. Thanks for posting.
I loooove gillian welch 💛

Love the vibe you bring to this!
whatever is happening after 2:00 is by far my favorite part

@@allisond4359 :))) much love!
I know I LOVE the lilting - more of that transatlantic connection to Irish folk music too :)

Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird,
she sings as she flies
She never gets lonesome
till the first day of July.
I've gambled in England,
and I've gambled down in Spain.
I gambled with five aces,
now I've gambled my last game.
Oh, it's gamblin' that's brought me prison,
And it's gamblin' that's brought me pain
I'll never see the cuckoo
or hear her song again
Jack o' diamonds, jack o' diamonds,
I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets
of silver and of gold.
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird,
she sings as she flies
She never gets lonesome
till the first day of July.
@@tuib Wado oginali, much appreciated!
@@KentuckyRedneck13 appreciate the encouragement! There’s lots of different versions of the lyrics, as with many folk tunes :) - the ones i’m doing here are:
Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird
And she warbles as she flies
She never hollers cuckoo
Till the 4th day of July
Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds
How i know you from old
You’ve robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and gold
Gonna build me a log cabin
On a mountain so high
So i can see Whitlock
As he passes by
Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird
How i wish she was mine
She never drinks whiskey
She only drinks wine
Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird
And they’ll try and cast their nets
Jack of diamonds says a pretty word
And they’ll try and place their bets
But you can’t catch can’t catch freedom
So you may as well fly too
And you’ll never know what could’ve become
Of the choice you let fall through.

Wuts the lyrics in the last verse? 10/10 recommend to a friend
@@diablofrench7735 :) last verse is:
Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird
And they’ll try and cast their nets

And they’ll try and place their bets
But you can’t catch can’t catch freedom

It's an actual song, with actual verses and a MELODY, none of which appear here...feh.😊
