[Verse 1]
CGC
Early in the evening just about supper time
CGC
Over by the courthouse they’re starting to unwind
FC
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up
CGC
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
[Chorus]
FCGC
Down on the corner, out in the street
FCGC
Willy and the Poorboys are playing, bring a nickel, tap your feet
[Verse 2]
CGC
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
CGC
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
FC
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
CGC
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo
[Chorus]
FCGC
Down on the corner, out in the street
FCGC
Willy and the Poorboys are playing, bring a nickel, tap your feet
[Chorus]
FCGC
Down on the corner, out in the street
FCGC
Willy and the Poorboys are playing, bring a nickel, tap your feet
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
CGC
You don’t need a penny just to hang around
CGC
But if you’ve got a nickel, won’t you lay your money down?
FC
Over on the corner there’s a happy noise
C
People come from all around to watch the magic boy, here we go
[Chorus]
FCGC
Down on the corner, out in the street
FCGC
Willy and the Poorboys are playing, bring a nickel, tap your feet
[Chorus]
FCGC
Down on the corner, out in the street
FCGC
Willy and the Poorboys are playing, bring a nickel, tap your feet
[Chorus]
FCGC
Down on the corner, out in the street

Willy and the Poorboys are playing, bring a nickel, tap your feet
