Turkey in the Straw - The Hi-Lo's

作词：Traditional

作曲：Traditional

As I was a going

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

Turkey in the hay

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 sitting

On a pile of straw

A winking at

His mother in law

Turkey in the straw

Turkey in the hay

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

Turkey in the hay

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 fishing

On a warm summer day

When all the fish

Were swimming 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

Turkey in the hay

Roll 'em up and twist 'em up

A high tuck a haw

And hit 'em up a tune called

Turkey in the Straw
