Mocking Bird

I won me a mocking bird,
A mocking bird, a mocking bird,
I won me a mocking bird when i gambled all night long.
Mocking bird was a talking bird,
Squeaking bird, squeaking bird,
Mocking bird was a talking bird,
Is talking all night long.
I tried for the money: but i just wasn't able,
Had 2 more drinks and then i slipped under the table,
And she mocked me all night long.
Drinks served by the chinese girl,
By the chinese girl,
By the chinese girl,
Drinks served by the chinese girl,
By the chinese girl all night long
She said 'you can look my boy but you can't touch'
You got the jack some five and a couple of threes
And i got the royal flush
She mocked me all night long
