|
As I was a-goin' |
|
On down the road |
|
With a tired team |
|
And a heavy load |
|
I cracked my whip |
|
And the leader sprung |
|
I says day-day |
|
To the wagon tongue |
|
|
|
Turkey in the straw |
|
(Whistle) |
|
Turkey in the straw |
|
(Whistle) |
|
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up |
|
A high tuck a-haw |
|
And hit 'em up a tune called |
|
Turkey in the Straw |
|
|
|
Went out to milk |
|
And I didn't know how |
|
I milked the goat |
|
Instead of the cow |
|
A monkey sittin' |
|
On a pile of straw |
|
A-winkin' at |
|
His mother-in-law |
|
|
|
Turkey in the straw |
|
(Whistle) |
|
Turkey in the straw |
|
(Whistle) |
|
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up |
|
A high tuck a-haw |
|
And hit 'em up a tune called |
|
Turkey in the Straw |
|
|
|
I came to the river |
|
And I couldn't get across |
|
So I paid five dollars |
|
For a big bay hoss |
|
Well, he wouldn't go ahead |
|
And he wouldn't stand still |
|
So he went up and down |
|
Like an old saw mill |
|
|
|
Turkey in the straw |
|
(Whistle) |
|
Turkey in the straw |
|
(Whistle) |
|
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up |
|
A high tuck a-haw |
|
And hit 'em up a tune called |
|
Turkey in the Straw |
|
|
|
Did you ever go fishin' |
|
On a warm summer day |
|
When all the fish |
|
Were swimmin' in the bay |
|
With their hands in their pockets |
|
And their pockets in their pants |
|
Did you ever see a fishie |
|
Do the Hootchy-Kootchy Dance? |
|
|
|
Turkey in the straw |
|
(Whistle) |
|
Turkey in the straw |
|
(Whistle) |
|
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up |
|
A high tuck a-haw |
|
And hit 'em up a tune called |
|
Turkey in the Straw |
