Down on the Corner CCR  # 013 – 7
 
 
C G C
Early in the evenin' just about supper time, over by the courthouse,
 
  G C F  C
they're starting to unwind, four kids on the corner, trying to bring you up,
 
 G C
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.
 
 
 
C  G C
Rooster hits the washboard, and people just gotta smile, Blinky thumps the
 
 G C F C
gut bass and solos for awhile. Poor-boy twangs the rhythm out on his 
 
 G C
Kalamazoo. And Willy goes in to a dance and doubles on Kazoo.
 
Chorus
 
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 on the corner, there's a happy noise, 
 
 G C
people come from all around to watch the magic boy.
 
 
Chorus
