Turkey in the Straw
Minstrel Song

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 day-day To the wagon
tongue Turkey in the straw (Whistle) Turkey in the straw (Whistle) 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 sittin' On a pile of straw A-winkin' at His mother-in-law
Turkey in the straw
(Whistle) Turkey in the straw (Whistle) 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 (Whistle) Turkey in the straw (Whistle) 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 fishin' On a warm summer day When all the fish Were swimmin' 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 (Whistle) Turkey in the straw
(Whistle) Roll 'em up and twist 'em up A high tuck a-haw And hit 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw
