Early on the evening, just about suppertime



Over by the courthouse they're startin' to unwind



Four kids on the corner, tryin' to bring you up



Willie picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp





CHORUS:



Down on the corner, out in the street



Willie and the Poorboys are playin'



Bring a nickel, tap your feet





Rooster hits the wash board, and people just got to smile



Blinky thumps the gut-bass and solos for a while



Poorboy twangs the rhythm out, on his kalamazoo



Willie goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo





CHORUS:



SOLO



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
