[C] Early in the evenin’ [G] just about supper time; [C] Over by the courthouse they’re [G] starting to unwind
[F] Four kids on the corner [C] trying to bring you up. [C] Willy picks a tune out and he [G] blows it on the [C] harp.
[TURN-AROUND] – – – – – [F] Down on the [C] corner. [G] Out in the [C] street. Willy and the [F] Poor Boys are [C] playin’ – – Bring a [G] nickel, tap your [C] feet
[ C G ] Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile. [ C G ] Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
[ F C ] Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo. [ C G ] And Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.
[TURN-AROUND] – – – – –
[ C G ] You don’t need a penny just to hang around, [ C G ] But if you’ve got a nickel, won’t you lay your money down?
[ F C ] Over on the corner there’s a happy noise. [ C G ] People come from all around to watch the magic boy
[TURN-AROUND] – – – – – TWICE
