Turkey In The Straw
Banjo Pickers songbook
Well, I had an old hen and she had a wooden leg
Just the best old hen that ever laid an egg
Well, she laid more eggs than any hen on the farm
But another little drink wouldn't do her any harm
Turkey in the straw, in the straw ,straw, straw
Turkey in the hay, in the hay, hay, hay
Pick 'em up, shake 'em up, any way at all
And pick a tune called Turkey in the straw
Well, I hitched up the wagon and I drove down the road
With a two horse wagon and a four horse load
Well I cracked my whip and the lead horse sprung
And I said goodbye to the wagon tongue
Well, if frogs had wings and snakes had hair
And automobiles went a flying thro' the air
And if watermelons grew on a huckleberry vine
We'd have winter in the summer time
