[Verse 1]

Early in the evening just about supper time

Over by the courthouse they’re starting to unwind

Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up

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

[Chorus]
F C G C
Down on the corner, out in the street
F C G C
Willy and the Poorboys are playing, bring a nickel, tap your feet

[Verse 2]
C G C
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
C G C
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
F C
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
C G C
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo

[Chorus 2x]

Down on the corner, out in the street

You don’t need a penny just to hang around

But if you’ve 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, here we go

[Chorus 2x 2x]
