Early on the evening, just about suppertime 
Over by the courthouse they're startin' to unwind 
Four kids on the corner, tryin' to bring you up 
Willie picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp 

Chorus: 
Down on the corner, out in the street 
Willie and the Poorboys are playin' 
Bring a nickel, tap your feet 

Rooster hits the wash board, and people just got to smile 
Blinky thumps the gut-bass and solos for a while 
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out, on his kalamazoo 
Willie goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo 

Chorus:

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, there's a happy noise 
People come from all around to watch the magic boy
