Strophe)
Early in the evening just about supper time
Over by the courthouse thwy´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
Refrain)
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the poorboys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Strophe)
rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Blinky, thumps the gut bass ans solos for a while
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
Willy goes into a dance and coubles on kazoo
Refrain)
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the poorboys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Refrain)
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the poorboys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Strophe)
You don´t need a penny just to hang around
Buf it you´ve got a nickel, won´t you lay your money down
Over on the corner there´s a happy noise
Poeple come from all arount to watch the magic boy
Refrain)
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the poorboys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet
