Down On The Corner Lyrics - The Long Road Home: Ultimate John Fogerty Creedence Collection - John Fogerty

Early in the evenin' just about supper time, 

Over by the courthouse 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. 

Down on the corner, out in the street 

Willy and the Poorboys are playin' 

Bring a nickel; tap your feet. 

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile, 

Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while. 

Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo. 

Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo. 

Down on the corner, out in the street 

Willy and the Poorboys are playin' 

Bring a nickel; tap your feet. 

Down on the corner, out in the street, 

Willy and the Poorboys are playin' 

Bring a nickel; tap your feet. 

You don't need a penny just to hang around, 

But if you've 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. 

Down on the corner, out in the street, 

Willy and the Poorboys are playin'; 

Bring a nickel; tap your feet. 

Down on the corner, out in the street 

Willy and the Poorboys are playin' 

Bring a nickel; tap your feet. 

Down on the corner, out in the street 

Willy and the Poorboys are playin' 

Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
