D5 A5 D5
1. Early in the evening just about suppertime
D5 A5 D5
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind
G5 D5
Poor kids on the corner trying to break it up
D5 A5 D5
Willy picks a tune out he knows they're gonna start
G5 D5 A5 D5
R: Down on the Corner out in the street
G5 D5
Willy and the poor boys are playing
A5 D5
bring a nickel tap your feet
2. Johnny hits the washboard people just gotta smile
Robby thumbs a gut bass and solos for awhile
Poor boy playing rhythm on his Kalamazoo
Willy goes into a dance a doubles on Kazoo
Hey!
R: Down on the Corner... (3x)
3. You dont 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 boys
R: Down on the Corner... (5x)
