| lyric | 1. 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 dayday to the wagon tongue.
Chorus:
Turkey in the straw, haw, haw, haw,
Turkey in the hay, hay, hay, hay,
Roll ’em up and twist ’em up a high tuck a-haw,
And hit ’em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw.
2. So I went a-rackin’ on down the road,
I met Miss Terrapin and Mister Toad,
And every time that toad would jump,
Miss Terrapin hide behind the stump.
3. I met an old catfish swimmin’ in the stream,
I asked that old catfish what do he mean,
Grabbed that catfish right by the snout
And turned Mister Catfish wrongside out.
4. I love to go a-fishin’ on a bright summer day,
To see the perches and the catfish play,With their hands in their pockets and their pockets in their pants
Would you like to see the ladies do the kootchie-kootchie dance? |
