| C | G | C | |
| Early in the evenin' j | ust about supper | time, |
| C | G | C | |
| Over by the courthouse, they're | starting to un | wind |
| F | C | |
| Four kids on the corner | trying to bring you up, |
| C | G | C | |
| Willy picks a tune out and he b | lows it on the h | arp. |
| 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 ni | ckel, tap your | feet. |
| Rooster hits the washboard, and people just gotta smile |
| Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for awhile. |
| Poor-boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo. |
| And Willy goes in to a dance and doubles on Kazoo. |
| CHORUS |
| 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 |
