Down on the Corner - Die Campbells

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

Down On The Corner out in the street

Willy and the Poorboys are playing

Bring a nickel;

tap your feet

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile

Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while

Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo

Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo

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
