Down On The Corner lyrics

Early in the evening just about suppertime

Over by the courthouse they're startin' to unwind

Four kids on the corner tryin' to bring you up

Willie picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp



CHORUS:

Down on the corner, out in the street

Willie and the Poorboys are playin'

Bring a nickel, tap your feet



Rooster hits the wash board and people just got to smile

Blinky thumbs the gut-bass and solos for a while

Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo

Willie goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo



CHORUS



CHORUS



You don't need a penny just to hang around

But if you got a nickel won't you lay your money down

Over on the corner there's a happy noise

People come from all around to watch the magic boy



CHORUS

CHORUS...
