(Riffs 1 and 2 continue through verses along with rhythm guitar)
Verse 1
Early in the evenin', 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.
Chorus
Down on the corner, out in the street.
Willy and the Poorboys are playin', bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Verse 2
Rooster hits the washboard, and people just gotta smile.
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
And Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.
Chorus
Down on the corner, out in the street.
Willy and the Poorboys are playin', bring a nickel, tap your feet.
| Riff 1 | Riff 1 | Riff 2 | Riff 1 |
Down on the corner, out in the street.
Willy and the Poorboys are playin', bring a nickel, tap your feet.
| C | G C | C | G C |
Verse 3
You don't need a penny just to hang around.
But if you 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.
Chorus
Down on the corner, out in the street.
Willy and the Poorboys are playin', bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner, out in the street.
Willy and the Poorboys are playin', bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner, out in the street.
Willy and the Poorboys are playin', bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner, out in the street.
Willy and the Poorboys are playin',
(fade out)
