(riffs 1 and 2 continue through verses along with rhythm guitar)
[Verse 1]
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.
[Verse 2]
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]
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 on the corner, there's a happy noise,
G C
people come from all around to watch the magic boy.
[Chorus and fade]
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.
Again, if someone could send this to Nevada or tell me how I'd be thankful.
