Down On The Corner lyrics

Early on 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 thumps 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:

SOLO

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
