Early in the evenin'   just about supper time,  over by the courthouse,

        G              C    F                         C
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.

you lay your money down.  Over on the corner, there's a happy noise,

chords)
     Early in the evening, just about supper time 
     I go on by the courthouse where it's startin' to unwind
     Four kids on the corner tryin' to bring you up
     Willy picks a tune out and he plays it on the harp

Chorus                                   
   Down on the corner out in the street  
   F            C     G          C           
   Willy and the poor boys are playin'   
   C             F             C                         
   Bring a nickel stamp your feet.       
            G                C
      Rooster hits the washboard, the people just gotta' smile

      New kid thumbs the gut bass and solo's for a while

      Poor boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo

      Willie goes into a dance and doubles on Kazoo.

Chorus                                   
   Down on the corner out in the street  
                                         
   Willy and the poor boys are playin'   
                                         
   Bring a nickel stamp your feet.       

      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 theres a happy bunch

      People come from all aound to watch the magic boys
Chorus                                   
   Down on the corner out in the street  
                                         
   Willy and the poor boys are playin'   
                                         
   Bring a nickel stamp your feet.
