[Verse 1]
C G C
Early in the evenin, just around supper time, over by the courthouse,
G C F C
they're starting to unwind, four kids on the corner, trying to bring you
G C
up, Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.
[Chorus]
F C G C F C
Down on the corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poorboys are playin
G C
bring a nickel, tap your feet
[Verse 2]
C G C
Rooster hits the washboard, and people just gotta smile, Blinky thumps the
G C F C
bass and solos for awhile. Poor-boy twangs the rythym out on his Kalamazoo.
G C
And Willy goes into a dance and doubles on Kazoo.
[Chorus]
F C G C F C
Down on the corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poorboys are playin
G C
bring a nickel, tap your feet
[Verse 3]
C G C
You don't need a penny just to hang around, but if you got a nickel won't
G C F C
you lay your money down. Over in the corner, there's a happy noise, people
G C
come from all around to watch the magic boy.
[Chorus]
F C G C F C
Down on the corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poorboys are playin
G C
bring a nickel, tap your feet
