[Verse 1]
[C]Early in the evening[G] just about supper[C] time
[C]Over by the courthouse they'[G]re starting to [C]unwind
[F]Four kids on the corner[C] trying to bring you up
[C]Willy picks a tune out and he[G] blows it on the[C] harp
[Chorus]
[F]Down on the[C] corner,[G] out in the[C] street
Willy and the[F] Poorboys are[C] playing, bring a[G] nickel, tap your[C] feet
[Verse 2]
[C]Rooster hits the washboard and[G] people just got to[C] smile
[C]Blinky, thumps the gut bass and[G] solos for a[C] while
[F]Poorboy twangs the rhythm out[C] on his kalamazoo
[C]Willy goes into a dance and[G] doubles on k[C]azoo
[Chorus]
[F]Down on the[C] corner,[G] out in the[C] street
Willy and the[F] Poorboys are[C] playing, bring a[G] nickel, tap your[C] feet
[Chorus]
[F]Down on the[C] corner,[G] out in the[C] street
Willy and the[F] Poorboys are[C] playing, bring a[G] nickel, tap your[C] feet

[C]You don't need a pen[G]ny just to hang[C] around
But[C] if you've got a nickel, won't[G] you lay your m[C]oney down?
[F]Over on the corner[C] there's a happy noise
[C]People come from all around to watch the magic boy, here we go
